Two weeks ago, I got the nicest response from a guy with the Red Sox and a Poster of all the players last year!
__________________________
Dear Sir or Madam:
I was very happy to hear about the Red Sox winnin’ in that series of games they played last week. Apparently, them boys had not won out in a long time. Ever since they traded Babe Ruth I heard. And he died a long time ago.
There was a cable TV show I watched twice that interviewed a bunch of crazy (in my opinion) Red Sox fans, and that is how I learned about some kind of curse or somethin’ that was placed on your team. Now I don’t wanna be rainin’ on your all’s victory parade up there, but I don’t think there ever was a real curse on your team! And, I’ll tell ya why.
In that show I watched, they had rabbis and nuns prayin’ for the team and that never broke the curse. Also, they never found some dang piano that Babe Ruth threw in the ocean somewhere either. And a lot of them fans have stories about wearin’ the same pants and shoes all the time or some other superstitious thing they did to try to break that supposed ‘curse’. So what finally broke the dang curse?
Have you all ever considered this up there in Boston? Maybe tradin’ Babe Ruth was just normal old time baseball business after all. And all those losin’ years (when you got to prayin’ and searchin’ for pianos and such), that them Red Sox teams was simply flat not as good as the one they fielded this year. Maybe there never was a curse. If there was a curse, then who cast it? I’m thinkin’ it was just a figment of George Vecsey’s desperate ‘strugglin’ for a story’ imagination. But nobody wants to talk about that!
Why don’t you Bostonians just give your devils their due? I think they was just plain the ‘best of the best’ this year. They were sweepers for dang sakes?!!?

PS Don’t trade any of your guys this year, just in case there was a real curse and none of us caught on to what really broke it this year.
PSS And, keep lookin’ for that piano, too. It might be worth somethin’!
PSSS Now that you all won, what are ya gonna do to keep your mind in the game?
PSSS I liked that Ted Williams guy. He played for the Red Sox, I think……..
