Sox and The Curse

 

            When the glorious game ended on the baseball field at Fenway Park, the Red Sox made a promise to the people of Boston. The players spoke to them from the pitcher's mound: "You are our nation, you shall continue to watch baseball throughout the month of October, and you shall live to see the Sox play in the World Series. You shall teach our story and tell our tale of success to your children and to your children's children. For five months of the year, the people saw the players take game after game in order to reach this sacred stage of the season. For the sixth, the fans shall witness our dominance. Therefore, thou shall not worry about our future as a team in the Playoffs. Let this day be taken as a sign forever between the Red Sox and the loyal baseball fans of Boston. In five months of the season, the players rallied to make the playoffs, in the sixth they preformed to the best of their abilities to win the World Series, and the people forgot about the "Curse of the Bambino.".
             When the heavenly squad finished speaking with the Boston faithful at Fenway Park, they gave each individual his own jersey, each engraved with one word and one number. Composed in true Boston character, each one displayed the number 5 as well as the word "Nomah," which was to be spoken in a thick Boston accent. The Curse shall be forgotten in all the remaining years of the Red Sox. The New York Yankees will no longer find favor in god's eyes.
             When the idolized players walked off the stage that was the pitcher's mound, the people gathered around the unfortunate Yankee flag and sacrificed it in memory of local legend, Ted "Ball-Game" Williams, one of the greatest to play the game. "Come, make a sacrifice to Ted Williams, the fallen Red Sox player that we hope shall bring us the luck we need to have our team survive the perils of the New York Yankees," an 18 year old college student exclaimed. "This burning flag shall go before us for many summers to come, as we do not know what to make of this glorious speech echoed through the streets of "Bean-town" this afternoon.
