When the Curse was Broken
When Babe Ruth left the Boston Red Sox to play for the New York Yankees in the off-season of 1918-1919, the Sox was one of the most successful ball teams in the majors, winning five of their first fifteen chances at the World Series, with their last one against the Chicago Cubs in 1918 with the Babe’s help. Then, after the Babe left, for the next 86 years the Red Sox would never win another World Series until 2004 when they finally reversed the Curse of the Bambino. It is a story of great close calls and heartbreak only to find deep exuberant joy at the 2004 World Series when the Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals in a four game sweep with Cardinal Edgar Renteria hit for the final out in one of the most amazing stories in baseball. The 2004 Champion Red Sox Cufflinks are a great way to remember the day when the curse was finally ended and a new era was born. These silver cufflinks feature the logo of the Boston Red Sox in a circle announcing them as the 2004 World Series Champions, which make them prized collector’s items among other MLB cufflinks and other baseball memorabilia. Though the Red Sox may not be doing too hot lately, these cufflinks are a great reminder that nothing lasts forever and there’s always another game, another season, and another team waiting to take the field and reclaim glory once again. It’s only just a matter of time. Hopefully not another eighty years.
