Talk of the curse as an ongoing phenomenon ended in 2004, when the Red Sox came back from a 0 -- 3 best - of - seven deficit to beat the Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series (ALCS) and then went on to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals to win the 2004 World Series. The curse had been such a part of Boston culture that when a "reverse curve '' road sign on Longfellow Bridge over the city 's busy Storrow Drive was graffitied to read "Reverse The Curse '', officials left it in place until after the Red Sox won the 2004 Series. After the Red Sox won the last game of the World Series that year, the road sign was edited to read "Curse Reversed '' in celebration.
