Hi
I think the whole Ortiz shirt thing was sensible to avoid it coming back to bite them in years to come. After all there never was a curse of the Bambino but the Sox and their fans had to live with it ringing in their ears for the better part of a century. The guy who placed it there would have had a better story if he’d had the good sense to wait before announcing it to the world. I guess this way he just loses his job.
Interesting to see the Tigers have just about the worst record in the AL but it is early days. Shows how difficult it is to work these things out on paper.
