Lets go Red Sox

Would you believe that a player cursed a team when he was traded from one team to another and the team that traded him has not won the major championship of that sport since then. If you don't believe, then you need to. "Curse of the Bambino" has inflicted the Red Sox since 1918 and they are yet to bring to Boston that elsuive World Series since 1918. Bambino is Babe Ruth whose is bradmanesque in baseball. He has blasted 714 home runs and he has just Hank Aaron ahead of him in all time home runs, but Barry Bonds is breathing down Babe's neck. Babe Ruth was traded to New York by Red Sox owner for a meagre amount that he used to finance his girlfriend's play. The rest, as everyone would say, is history. New York has become the winnigest sports franchise in history and Boston has been down in the dumps due to the "Curse of the Bambino". Don't relate this curse to anything that you see in Tamil movies where the perenially sobbing Manorama would inflict by throwing sand on the villain.

In sports, memory is short-lived. So, Red Sox have a chance at redemption this week when they face New York for the American league championship. I am rooting for Boston as I am a huge fan of Curt Schilling, Pedro, Manny, Ortiz and Pokey Reeese. Lets go Boston... We Believe!!!
