Believers: Boston Red Sox

Red Sox fans share decades of losses and heartbreak until 2004, when their team faces the Yankees in the ALCS; one moment changes everything.

Boston's complex history of progress and prejudice finds reflection in its baseball team; the 2004 Red Sox, facing elimination, begin dismantling Yankees' dominance, uniting fans and challenging an alleged curse.

Red Sox fans trade generations of curse-driven misery for triumph; their identity shifts from suffering to success, leaving them to navigate unfamiliar territory where winning is expected.
