Gutlon presents It Was Never About the Babe: The Red Sox, Racism, Mismanagement, and the Curse of the Bambino, a surprising and in-depth sports history chronicle about why the Red Sox really tumbled into a downward spiral after selling Babe Ruth to their rivals, the Yankees.
It took a while before the team finally broke the curse of the Bambino.
COLUMN: IN OUR OPINION; EDITORIAL FOOTNOTE Having exorcized the Curse of the Bambino by ending an 86-year championship drought in 2004, the Red Sox took the opportunity of their 2007 championship season to try to exorcize a curse that was equally irrational and infinitely more cruel: the unwarranted and deeply hurtful scapegoating - by the media and fans alike - of Bill Buckner for the team's failure to win the Major League Baseball championship in 1986.
