The Curse of the Bambino Has Moved To New York

Many baseball fans must be wondering what’s going on with George Steinbrenner and his mighty Yankees this season. Since the announcement of the construction of the new stadium the all mighty pink stripes have been in a constant slide at home.

Could it be that the Bambino did not approve of the destruction of his home and made a transfer of his curse from Fenway to New York?  A true Yankee fan will tell you that it takes time for a team to adapt to their new surroundings but its incredible to see that the team can’t seem to do anything right.

The Yankees have in paper the best pitching money can buy at least in the American League combined with a great and established lineup that has been together forever what’s the reason for the worst record in 6 years at home.

Here come the numbers so that those fans don’t say that the numbers are made up. All the numbers are from the start of the season till the 12^th of May of each year.

Year                 Record             Home               Away               Position Standings

2002                24 – 14            9 - 6                 15 – 8              2^nd

2003                26 – 11            10 – 5              16 – 6              1^st

2004                19 – 14            10 – 6              9 – 8                2^nd

2005                16 – 19            12 - 11             4 – 8                4^th

2006                20 – 13            11 – 5              9 – 8                1^st

2007                17 – 18            10 – 9              7 – 9                3^rd

2008                19 – 20            9 – 9                10 – 11            4^th

2009                15 – 17            6 -7                  9 -10                3^rd

I guess that in New York it doesn’t matter how much money is invested to buy a championship or how the media speaks about the Team or it’s ownership but it is all “spiritual”. The next time that the Yankees want to move they should consider making a trip to Cooperstown to consult with the true Yankee owners.
