Talk:1986 World Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Curse
can the line in the opening paragraph mentioning the Curse of the Bambino be removed? the phrase itself didn't even gain popularity or notoriety until 1990. how could the 1986 WS spread the legend of the "Curse of the Bambino" four years prior? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.223.226.6 (talk • contribs) .
- Per your reasoning, it sounds like it might need to be reworded at least. Assuming the Curse of the Bambino article is accurate, the 1986 World Series was the final straw in the creation of the "curse" concept - but the article makes it pretty clear that the curse wasn't mentioned until after this series so certainly this series didn't spread the idea. Personally, I don't care much for the curse nonsense at all but others will probably want it in this article in some form. —Wknight94 (talk) 15:20, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
