Cleveland Indians - Baseball Players With Curses To Give
Baseball is full of curses and hexes that said to be the cause of the many failures of the team to win the World Series. Each team subjected to this curses will have years of drought. It is not like they end up being the worst team of the year but even if they give their best, they always lose. The non-believers of these curses may not take this as a logical explanation for not winning. However, the losses of the best teams seemed to be a puzzle to everyone.
The players, a prominent figure or a spectator may cause the curses of baseball. It is not like the olden days that they chant spells or perform rituals to summon evil power to cause bad things to happen. Gone are the days of cauldrons and witches. These supernatural hindrances to win a National League or American League or even a World Series were heavily caused by a bitter exchange of words or plainly an act of letting go.
Several people were associated to the mishaps occurring in several teams. The following are:
1. Rocky Colavito- Who could forget this handsome baseball player. Everyone loved him for his coolness. Yet he was the alleged reason why Cleveland Indians were not to grab titles from World Series or even the American League. There were traces of the curse year after year but he denied that he never cast one on them. We will never know, however, who would want to trade the leader in homeruns for the American League? Well, it seems Cleveland made a wrong decision and put them in a troubling scenario. Nevertheless, none of these stopped Colavito from being one of the best baseball players in MLB.
2. Babe Ruth- This is your chocolate man and not only nutty and chocolaty but also the best player in the history of baseball. However, this baseball icon did not escape the being associated to hexes and spells. After being traded way back in 1919, Boston Red Sox had to suffer terrible losses even though they can get themselves in the World Series. Good thing that in 2004, the Red Sox were able to break the curse and it is believed so that it has totally disappeared when they repeated the victory in 2007.
3. Donnie Mattingly- He is the curse of the New York Yankees. When Yankees hired him, the team never won anything. He stayed from 1980 to 1995 and within those years, the Yankees offense was not so good, they lost games even though the pitcher threw a no-hitter and they even placed last in 1990. When Mattingly left the team, the Yankees started winning games from 1996-1998.
These are few of the players, who were said to have negative impact in teams like Cleveland Indians, Red Sox, and the Yankees. It is funny how the names of these great players are attached to the different curses. However, of course, when you ask them, they will deny such allegations. Remember, they are baseball players, not warlocks.
