The Curse of Mamdani

<![CDATA[You may have heard, if you’ve ever dipped into National Pastime lore, of the Curse of the Bambino. After the Boston Red Sox sold Babe Ruth’s contract to the New York Yankees, the Crimson Hose went 86 years before winning another World Series (the Yankees, meanwhile, won 26 World Series championships in that span). Now, however, the New York Mets, who didn’t even open for business until the Yankees had already won twenty championships, have a curse of their own, and while it may not take 86 years to play itself out, the Mets are sure having a hard time of it now. Call it The Curse of Mamdani.]]>
