[edit] Curse of the Bambino

"Fulfilling the Curse of the Bambino, the Red Sox fell 4 games to 3 in the World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals, losing three times to Bob Gibson. "

Is this realistic explanation of why the Red sox lost this particular World series ? Because of a "curse" ? Or did it have more to do with having to face Bob Gibson 3 times and pitching Jim Lonborg on 2 days rest in game seven ? No Guru

The edit is fine with me, but try telling millions of Boston fans there's no curse :) Dze27 04:55, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)

I hear you & thanks for the support. The curse reference doesn't really fit here (or on most other player pages IMO)No Guru 21:49, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

I'm wondering about the external link to the baseball history site. It seems to be a site used for selling memorabilia and has no content at all. If no one objects I will remove it in a few days. No Guru 18:19, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lonborg

Expanding on the earlier comment about Lonborg: he pitched Game 7 on two days rest because he had pitched the pennant-clinching game against Minnesota on the last day of the 1967 season. As a result, he started (and won) Games 2 and 5 of the Series, where Gibson started Games 1 and 4. Yaz hit two home runs in Game 2.--Rich 05:44, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

He had an OBP% of .500 for the series ! No Guru 07:10, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batting Stance Photo

Anyone have a good photo (with appropriate rights) showing his batting stance. That would be the definative Yaz photo and should be in here! John (Jwy) 20:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Agree: there's got to be a better photo of Yaz's batting stance. Billbrock 19:21, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
