feste_sylvainThe oldest Red Sox fan has died at the age of 112.
In November of 2005, the Red Sox brought the 2004 World Series trophy to her 111th birthday party.
Her first game was in the brand-new Fenway Park in 1912, when she was 18.
Some point out that she was a Red Sox fan "from the Babe Ruth days". The heck with that: she was a Red Sox fan from the Tris Speaker days.
And she lasted out the entire 86-year drought.

"Besides her daughter, she is survived by four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren."
