The Curse of the Bambino! The Sox won the Series in 1918, and sold the Babe to the Yankees in the off-season. Legend has it that he cursed the Sox and until last night, they hadn't won the Series since. I wonder why he picked THIS year to lift the Curse? Oct 28 04, 2:20 PM

Does anyone know the exact wording of the curse? It might explain why this year is different from all other years. Oct 29 04, 1:34 AM

Thanks, peasy. I noticed that the article states Ruth did not actually curse the team himself. Very informative. Oct 29 04, 12:35 PM

Starting with the fewest won, can anyone list these MLB teams from how many World Series they have won, and include how many they have won: Red Sox, Cubs, Yankees, A's, White Sox, Astros, Brewers, Phillies, and Dodgers? What actor paid $93,500 for the game-winning baseball that rolled between the legs of Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner in the 1986 World Series? The Red Sox are currently playing a series with the Minnesota Twins. You may have noticed the Twins' players all have the number 34 on their uniforms, and it was painted twice on their field. Which player is this in honor of? How many World Series have the New York Yankees been in?
