I thought for a curse to be a curse -- someone had to actually do the cursing on you -- as in the case of the Cursed Cubbies... Who actually did the cursing?
The definition of curse is:
An appeal or prayer for evil or misfortune to befall someone or something.
The evil or misfortune that comes in or as if in response to such an appeal

So it's really not a curse, the selling of the Bambino was more the impetus for a lot of bad luck....

I find it pretty amusing that 6'2 220 lbs was considered imposing, Tony Clark, of the Yanks is 6'8" -- I thought Ruth was a lot bigger than that...
