The Red Sox were the 'Yankees' of the first decade and a half of the World Series. They won a third of the first 15 played. I'll bet those fans were just as obnoxious as Yankee fans are now.
If anyone has a right to whine, its Phillies fan. In 120 years, they won only five pennants and one World Series. They might have expected to win 13 pennants and 5 World Series in that time. Houston and Texas fans also have a combined 83 years without a pennant (although the first ten years or so with Texas were in Washington DC).
