"Hope is the thing with feathers!"
– Buster Baxter, "The Curse of the Grebes"

The Elwood City Grebes are a professional baseball organization that represents Elwood City that dates back to at least 1918. They are a fictional representation of the Boston Red Sox. They first appear in "Bitzi's Break-up", but played a more prominent role in "Curse of the Grebes," when they compete in the World Championship (a parody of the World Series). Before the episode, they hadn't won the World Championship for 87 years. Their home venue is Elwood City Stadium.

History

1918 Grebes — The Grebes in the 1918, with Ray Vance up to bat.

The Grebes are named after a bird species native to the Elwood City area which is now rare because of the forest being cut down for urbanization. The team is similar to the Boston Red Sox, as they have players that have slightly altered names as the real 2004 and 2005 Boston Red Sox team. Before their win in the championship, some people believed that the reason the Grebes didn't win a World Championship was because of a curse called the "Curse of the Grebes".
