john/z28jdIm also going with the notion that theres no curse because theres too many teams that havent won the world series in a long long time,which means eventually all the teams except one wont be cursed and then you have the ultimate dynasty
but if you do believe that its the curse of the bambino then common sense would say the curse is over.Besides i never considered it to be the curse of the bambino,i thought of it as the curse of Waite Hoyt because he joined the Yankees for the 1921 season from the Red Sox,the first year the Yankees actually went to the w.s. The Yankees finished 3rd the 1st year they got Ruth.Who's to say the Yankees wouldve ever went on their w.s run if the Sox didnt give away a 20 year future hall of fame pitcher.
The Sox have also won 5 world series btw,only 4 franchises have won more and 3 of the teams moved from their original location and the 4th is the cardinals who actually came from a different league
The other teams that have won 5 w.s. titles all came from either a different league[Pirates and Reds from the american association] or the Giants who also moved from their original hometown
So that means out of all the teams that havent switched leagues or hometowns only the Red Sox have won 5 w.s. the most of any of those teams.Its obvious they were waiting for the other teams to catch up and it looks like theyve finally got tired of waiting.
