Title: #History: The Curse of the Bambino (1920)
Post by: TFD on Jan 03, 2015, 09:31 AM
According to baseball lore, the Boston Red Sox became cursed after Babe Ruth, the "Bambino," was sold to the New York Yankees in 1920. Before the sale, the Red Sox had won five World Series titles. After the sale, Ruth became a superstar, and the previously lackluster Yankees went on to win 27 World Series titles. The Red Sox, meanwhile, failed to win another series for more than eight decades, finally breaking the "curse" in 2004. How did some Red Sox fans attempt to "reverse the curse"?
