Enjoy teasing while you can. This is the year for the Red Sox John!
(The picture refers to a Babe Ruth curse. I can't remember the details but he basically cursed the team to never winning the Series.)

Chris,

I think John is a Sox fan. This will inspire Boston tonight.

Best,
Grady

EXPLANATION: After being a successful team, in 1918 Red Sox got rid of Babe Ruth (to the Yankees) and haven't won the World Series since... plenty of reading in the OT forum:
The Official Red Sox thread!

He's Hispanic, so I think the midde name would be "Carrera".

Why'd the thread get moved? I thought the goat was from Gmund.

the picture represents a time when players played for the love of the game! Now...just for $$$ Baseball is the one sport that will never win me back since the strike.

John you are an optimist

My pick from back in August

Boston vs. STL

My preference NY vs Houst.

I don't think the Yankees have it in them, rooting for them any how

we'll see in a few hrs.

The NY's must be kind of scared if they have to conjour up old images it hopes of winning. I guess blowing 3 games in a row is part of the curse? Go Sox (or anyone else that plays the Yankee's).
