"There Is No Curse" -- Right?
Last night, I stumbled across HBO's hour-long documentary Curse of the Bambino, documenting the Red Sox' notorious collapses and inability -- for 86 years! -- to get it done. Through the 1946 Series and Ted Williams' freak accident that wrecked his hitting (he was hit on the elbow by a fastball in an exhibition game days before the Series), the 1967 Series, the 1978 one-game playoff that gave Bucky Dent his middle name, or the 1986 Series that gave Bill Buckner his, the Sox had plenty to do with their own, oft-repeated, demises. All of which leads to reviews that tell you "there is no curse".
I'll believe it after the Sox win the Series. In the meantime, 2-0 is good, but it isn't a Series victory.
Comments:
I saw that a few months ago. It was good because they came right out and talked openly about the real reason for "the curse"- the incompetence and racism that prevailed in the Red Sox organization right through the 80’s. You don’t see that often.
