It was a great series from the Playoffs to the World Series. I finally can get to bed at a decent hour now. However my cat will be disappointed. She got use to us staying up late with her.

posted on October 28, 2004 09:56:48 PMThe Real Reason the Curse Was Broken
"There are some who believe the only way the Boston Red Sox could have won the World Series for the first time in 86 years was to first have the legendary Curse of the Bambino lifted. And there are some who believe this is what happened thanks to the blood of a very special teenage boy from Sudbury, Mass.
This is what happened: It was the bottom of the fourth on Tuesday, August 31. The Red Sox vs. the Yankees at Fenway. Manny Ramirez steps up to the plate and lets one fly down the right field line into the stands. Just another foul ball, right? Wrong! A 16-year-old boy named Lee Gavin who has lived his entire life in the same house where Babe Ruth lived on Dutton Road in Sudbury stood up to catch Manny's wayward hit. Instead it smashed into his face, slicing his lip and knocking out his two front teeth. Blood spurted everywhere. An ambulance swept him away--and some believe the curse went with him. "Ramirez may have unwittingly done what countless others have failed to do before him. He may well have broken the curse under which the team has labored since Ruth was sold to the Yankees in 1919," writes Brian McGrory in the Boston Globe.
The kid has been turned into a sacrificial lamb, a symbol of the dead Babe. Gavin is a believer in the curse and likes to think his spilled blood helped lift it. He told the Boston Globe, ''All I was trying to do was trying to get the ball, and it happened to me of all people. That's a rarity. The whole thing, the Yankees doing so badly, the full moon, me getting hurt." Good news all around! The curse has been broken, the Red Sox won the World Series, Gavin's lip was repaired with two stitches, and his teeth were saved thanks to quick-thinking medics who pushed them back into his mouth. After two root canals, he'll be fine.
And for perspective on how long it's been for the Red Sox, we thank The Drudge Report for this bit of history:
The last time the Red Sox won the World Series: The first World War was about to end. Lucky Lindy was a teenager dreaming of flying across the ocean. John Kennedy was an infant. Penicillin didn't exist. TV didn't exist. Radio was just starting.

Hey Mimic, Deal!
Yankees lost in the Playoffs! They didn't even go to the series! It is a NON issue!
they have won enough to make 10 ballclubs happy and now fans are whining?
Please.
Besides, you didn't start winning until you stole Tino from the Mariners...bitter...nah!
