A brief internet search came up with this:
Red Sox bullpen coach John Cumberland, who grew up on a farm in Westbrook, Maine, has started a tomato garden in the home bullpen at Fenway Park. He has dug 18 plants, and put sweet basil between each one.
"We haven't won since 1918," says Cumberland, "so there's the magic number. I'm trying to change the karma around here, get some sweet tomatoes and basil in the soil and change it. Hopefully, we'll have a nice, bountiful crop by October."
They were planted in 2001...information taken from here. (http://www.1918redsox.com/pedro/archive/0501A.htm)
Given the fact that they did end up breaking their drought :ughh it must've worked.
