Prior to Ruth leaving Boston for New York, the Red Sox had won five of the first 15 World Series. Portrayals of the "curse" have appeared everywhere: From late night television shows such as "Saturday Night Live" to Hollywood movies like "50 First Dates" and "Fever Pitch." In 2005, ESPN Classic aired a television program called "The Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame Harry Frazee
The Sultan of Swat
"The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime."
George Herman Ruth, Jr. (February 6, 1895 ? August 16, 1948), best known as "Babe" Ruth and nicknamed "the Bambino" and "the Sultan of Swat", was an American Major League baseball player from 1914?1935. Ruth originally broke into the major leagues with the Boston Red Sox as a starting pitcher, but after he was sold to the New York Yankees in 1919, he converted to a full-time right fielder and subsequently became one of the league's most prolific hitters. Ruth was a mainstay in the Yankees' lineup that won seven pennants and four World Series titles during his tenure with the team. After a...

Amazing 1.75 ERA in 323 innings
1916 and 1917 would be Ruth's best years as a pitcher, as he won 23 games in '16 with an amazing 1.75 ERA in 323 innings. The Red Sox had a weaker offensive club, having sold Tris Speaker to the Cleveland Indians, but the Sox' pitching carried them to another American League pennant. They faced the Brooklyn Dodgers in the World Series, and in Game 2, Ruth pitched a complete-game 14-inning victory. The Red Sox went on to win the Series in five games.
