if anyone really looks at the babe ruth career, he was sold from the red sox to the yankees because the owner could not afford him anymore (stupid musicals). the yankees promised babe a managing career for many years, then at the end of his career they offered him 1 dollar in his final season with ny and told him he would never manage a yankees team. after that he went to the braves, who promised him a managing career and he never got that either. so if the babe was going to haunt or curse anyone it would either be the yankees for slapping him in the face after so many great years or the braves for flat out lying to him. I personally think the curse idea is stupid, the idea was the work of a dumb boston sports writer after the sox lost the 86 world series.
personally i would love to see a salary cap and a salary minimum so all teams have a chance of winning a world series. the introduction of the wild card really helped baseball because it kept a lot of markets in the playoff hunt, when in the past they would not have been. I am a huge sox fan, but i firmly believe there is an unfair advantage for teams in giant markets like boston and new york
