1918 

The year in which World War I ended. Also the second-to-last time that the Boston Red Sox won the World Series; i.e.: the last time that they won the World Series without an innocent bystander being fatally shot in the face during a post-American League Championship victory riot; i.e.: the last time that they won the World Series without a certain group of their fans having blood on their hands.

Victoria Snelgrove, age 21, died at the hands of Boston riot police after Game 7 of the 2004 American League Championship Series. She was shot in the face with a blunt trauma/pepper spray projectile when a victory celebration outside of Fenway Park soon descended into hooliganism. Red Sox outfielder Trot Nixon said he would have traded back Boston's victory in the ALCS to bring her back.
