The Breaking of the Bambino Curse

Down 3-0 to the Yankees

Defeat, despair, dreary

Just another year of being their little brother

The Curse of the Bambino being proven right again

But hope glimmers

Ortiz wins the game on a walk off home run!

A series win is still far off, but this game is close

Ortiz hits another walk off hit!

The Red Sox finally have the momentum and comfortably win game 6

The celebration starts early in game 7

The Red Sox roll over the Yankees with 10 runs

The curse in Boston has been lifted

The crowd cheers and the players celebrate,

As the best comeback in sports history comes to a close.

This piece is a retrospective look at one of the best moments in sports history, when the 2004 Red Sox overcame all odds and the Curse of the Bambino to win their first World Series since 1908. This poem specifically talks about their near impossible comeback from down 3-0 against the then World Series favorite and Boston rival, the New York Yankees.
