	Curse of the Bambino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Curse of the Bambino (1920 – 2004) was an urban myth or scapegoat cited as a reason for the failure of the Boston Red Sox baseball team to win the World Series for 86 years after they sold Babe Ruth, sometimes called The Bambino, to the New York Yankees.
		The curse was "reversed" in 2004 as the Red Sox came back from an 0-3 hole to beat the Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series and then went on to beat the St.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cursing
		In its popular acceptation cursing is often confounded, especially in the phrase "cursing and swearing", with the use of profane and insulting language; in canon law it sometimes signifies the ban of excommunication pronounced by the Church.
		Curses which imply rebellion against Divine Providence, or denial of His goodness or other attributes, such as curses of the weather, the winds, the world, the Christian Faith, are not generally grievous sins, because the full content and implication of such expressions is seldom realized by those who use them.
		To curse the devil is not of itself a sin; to curse the dead is not ordinarily a grievous sin, because no serious injury is done them, but to curse the saints or holy things, as the sacraments, is generally blasphemy, as their relation to God is generally perceived.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: History (The Curse of Tecumseh)
		Randomness is disquieting; Indian curses are, in comparison, the lesser of the evils because they at least support the illusion that there is order in our universe.
		No explanation is given for why the chief's curse would only affect one presidency in five, but one cannot, after all, expect the fanciful to cover everything.
		As to what to make of the "curse," it's interesting to note that since 1840, only one President other than those supposedly felled by this ill-wishing has died in office: Zachary Taylor, who was elected in 1848 and died in 1850 of a stomach ailment.

	ESPN.com: MLB Playoffs - The Curse of the Balboni
		Curses are not that unusual in baseball, but you typically have to be a great player to place one.
		The true Curse of the Balboni, simply stated, is this: since Balboni hit 36 home runs to lead the Royals to a World Championship, 100 different teams (through 1999) employed at least one player that hit 36 or more homers -- we'll call these players "Steves." Thirty-six of those 100 teams qualified for the postseason.
		The Curse of the Bambino is nothing to be trifled with -- it's been a blight on New England for over 80 years -- but keeping all of Red Sox Nation in a state of constant depression takes work.

	curse

	The Zero Year Presidential Curse - Might Tragedy Strike?
		Harrison, the original object of the curse, reportedly died of pneumonia; Harding passed away following a bout of food poisoning; and Roosevelt succumbed to a stroke (though mystery surrounds claims that his medical records were missing).
		Ridiculous though the notion of a presidential curse might seem--and some argue that the story is only a modern urban legend or hoax--the numbers suggest an extraordinary level of coincidence.
		The curse began in 1840 with the election of the 9th president of the United States.

	ESPN.com - MLB/PLAYOFFS2004 - A 'Curse' born of hate
		To be fair, local sportswriters occasionally floated the notion of a Red Sox-related curse, from Peter Gammons' 1981 reference to "the Fenway Park curse of the Yankees" and Dan Shaughnessy's 1986 mid-season mention of a "dueling curse" involving both California Boston, but the concept had no protagonist and little traction.
		The "Curse" was cute, a clever, near perfect cure-all that made losing a badge of honor and every Sox fan a martyr on a crusade to right a wrong.
		Broadcasters and sportswriters regularly credit the "Curse" for every misstep by the Boston front office and every miscue on the field, and the notion is now as common as a cliché.

		Most of these curses, inscribed on small sheets of lead that range in size between a business card and a playing card, had been edited in the early twentieth century, but their value for social history, gender history, and the history of sexuality had been pretty much ignored.
