DVD Reviews of Reverse of the Curse of the Bambino
DVD Review: A Brooklyn Dodger Fan Salutes The Red Sox Nation
Summary: 5 Stars
As a lifelong Brooklyn Dodger fan I have to admit that I cried when I watched this. I had never really followed the Red Sox before I saw this video, but I will now. Actually, because of the similar caps, we get mistaken for Sox fans ALL the time, but that's no shame. Brooklyn's Dodgers and Boston's Red Sox share long and storied complementary histories. Just watch this DVD and any of the many Brooklyn Dodger DVDs available. Consider this:
1. Fenway Park was built in 1912. Ebbets Field was built in 1913.
2. The Dodgers' first Ebbets game was against the Giants, our bloodsworn National League enemies. The Sox' first Fenway game was against the Yankees (then the Highlanders).
3. Boston had Frazee. We had O'Malley. Roz Wyman is our "No, No Nanette."
4. Babe Ruth played for Boston at the beginning of his career. He played for Brooklyn at the end.
5. We share The B.
6. It took Boston 86 years to win the Series. It took Brooklyn 68.
7. Fans of both teams HATE (and I mean HATE) the Yankees. The Yankees defeated Brooklyn 6 times in the Series (Boston beat Brooklyn once, in 1916, by the way, but that was A LONG TIME ago; it's a shame Brooklyn got kidnapped and never got to even the score).
8. The Dodgers were the first team to integrate. Boston was the last (what took you guys so long?)
9. A bizarre history has plagued both teams, who constantly blew Pennants and Series in nailbiter situations. The Sox had the Curse of the Bambino. The Bums had the Curse of Brooklyn.
10. Brooklyn fans and Boston fans share an almost spiritual attachment to their teams that spans generations. I guarantee NO CITY ever had a love for a team like Brooklyn, but I'll put Boston a VERY close second.
11. Many grieving Brooklyn Dodger fans are now active Red Sox fans.
12. Boston is the American League's Brooklyn. And vice-versa. (I don't know ANY Brooklyn-turned-LA Dodger fans. A different breed altogether.)
13. The Green Monster. The Rotunda. Gil Hodges. Yaz. Ted Williams. The Duke of Flatbush.
14. "WAIT 'TIL NEXT YEAR!" Need I say more?
***
Dear Boston,
Best wishes from The City Across The River.
Need I say more???
Description of Reverse of the Curse of the Bambino
In 1918 the Boston Red Sox won their fifth World Series, thanks in great part to a young pitching and hitting sensation from the slums of Baltimore, named George Herman Ruth, a.k.a. The Babe, or The Bambino. A year later, after not advancing to the playoffs, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold the Babe to the New York Yankees. In turn, the Bronx Bombers went on to win an incredible 26 World Series titles.Bestsellers in DVD
