I can understand the superstition, particularly when it comes to baseball. But your team did rid itself of the most famous sports curse of all-time, so there is some reason for optimism.

But I also did a double take when I saw the final score. My 8 year old watched the highlights with me on Monday morning. He couldn't stop laughing every time Hunter fell over the wall on Ortiz's homerun. Glad to see that Hunter was not seriously hurt.
