New Curse Of The Bambino?
Is the Curse of the Bambino back
Date: 9/25/2011 2:38:20 PM ( 13 y ) ... viewed 2035 times Sox owner John Henry and his wife Linda have decided to back Lucky Them, an indie about a music writer searching for her ex-boyfriend. She's on assignment but willing to track him down for the story, whatever lingering hard feelings might still be there. The picture was being produced by the late great Paul Newman, but after his death, longtime beloved wife Joanne Woodward stepped in. \
88 years ago, former Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold baseball legend Babe Ruth to the hated Yankees to finance a Broadway play called My Lady Friends or No No Nanette, depending on which of the many urban legends you believe. Ruth, of course, turned out to be the greatest baseball player ever, and the Yanks won twenty-six titles before the Red Sox won another. The sale itself is commonly referred to as The Curse Of The Bambino, and ordinarily, bringing up a Boston Red Sox owner financing the arts would be enough to start a brawl if you were in bawstin
while i am writing this the bosox are about to be beaten by the NY Yankees, their nemisis,
Huck Botko, the man behind The Virginity Hit, co-wrote the scriipt and is helming Lucky Them. He was also involved with The Last Exorcism, but if Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward are willing to attach their names, that’s certainly good enough for me.
Here's to hoping this film doesn't lead to another ninety years of Red Sox futility.
the Bosox once were on top of the A.L. east amd the future looked bright, but little mommy, err, I mean big Poppy have been frustrated as of late and after today with 3 games left. The Tampa Bay Rays could be only one half game behind the Bosox
