This day in history

So, it was just two years ago tonight that the stupid curse was finally put to bed. Yes, hard to believe that it's been two years since the Red Sox completed their comeback win over the Yankees in Game 7 of the ALCS. Good times...





From today's news, a new poll by AP-AOL Sports on the state of baseball in America was released yesterday. According to their findings, only 32% of Americans consider themselves to be baseball fans. 48% are hoping that Barry Bonds falls short in his efforts to break Hank Aaron's home run record.

But this is my favorite statistic: while the Yankees are the "team that most fans root FOR (14%), they are also the team that is most rooted AGAINST (by 40%!). [The Red Sox are cheered for by 95 - that's third behind the Braves - against by 7%]

Clearly they polled those with excellent taste!
