The 1918 championship would be the last Red Sox win until {{wsy|2004}}. The [[Glossary of baseball (D)#drought|drought]] of 86 years was often attributed to the [[Curse of the Bambino]]. The alleged curse came to be when Red Sox owner [[Harry Frazee]] traded the superbly talented but troublesome [[Babe Ruth]] (who was instrumental in their 1918 victory) to the [[New York Yankees]] for cash after the 1919 season.
The Cubs would not win their next World Series until [[2016 World Series|2016]]. The Cubs, who last won in {{wsy|1908}}, won the National League but lost the Series in 1910, 1918, {{wsy|1929}}, {{wsy|1932}}, {{wsy|1935}}, {{wsy|1938}}, and {{wsy|1945}}, allegedly stymied by the infamous [[Curse of the Billy Goat]] imposed during that latter Series. The Red Sox, who had won the American League but lost the Series in {{wsy|1946}}, {{wsy|1967}}, {{wsy|1975}}, and {{wsy|1986}}, finally won the World Series in {{wsy|2004}} and then won again in {{wsy|2007}}, [[2013 World Series|2013]] and [[2018 World Series|2018]]. When the Red Sox won in 2018 (against the [[2018 Los Angeles Dodgers season|Los Angeles Dodgers]]), they became the first team to win the Fall Classic exactly one century apart.
After Game 6, it would be some 87 years until the Cubs and Red Sox would play again. A three-game interleague match-up at Wrigley Field began June 10, 2005, and was Boston's first visit to the park. The Cubs would not return to Fenway Park for nearly 94 years until a three-game interleague match-up beginning May 20, 2011.
