Curse of the
Bambino
"- a neat tagline and title used by the Globe columnist Dan
Shaughnessy, when he wrote a book about the home team's extensive and eloquent
failures to nail down another world championship after they last did it, in
1918, and stuck needles into the club's owner, Harry Frazee, for his decision, a
year later, to sell Babe Ruth, then a star pitcher for the Bostons, to the
Yankees because, it was said, he needed cash as a backer of a Broadway musical."
