Something as intractable as "The Curse of the Bambino" would not fall by some common or mundane means. It could only end by a fierce assault on history. Certainly the last ten days in the life of the 2004 Boston Red Sox qualify as spectacular. Down to the mighty New York Yankees three games to none, facing elimination once again, the Sox turned baseball history on its head to become the only team in the history of the World Series and post-season baseball to win a seven-game series after losing the first three games. This backdoor sweep of the Yankees defied all odds, defied experts, and defied anything within the realm of realistic probability.

  • Be Careful What You Wish For
    Careful/Kruh 1 CHAPTER 1. Warm-ups To understand Jonathan Bailey and his obsession, we have to go back to Boston’s old West End, a teeming neighborhood of Italians, Poles, Jews, Albanians, Lithuanians, African-Americans, and pretty much anyone else the rest of the city didn’t want. They were as diverse a group of people as have ever been crammed into one tiny plot of land, with nary a white collar in the bunch. Tough as nails and loaded with strong opinions on everything from taxes to the Holy Ghost, but on this day it was a sure bet that everyone was in agreement on one thing: with Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio, and a host of other stars, the Red Sox were sure to beat the St. Louis Cardinals in the seventh and final game of the World Series. “Dad, there’s no sound!” It was about six in the afternoon on October 15, 1946, and Theodore Bailey of 29 Joy Street had his head and hands inside an old, wooden console radio. The urgency in his son Alexander’s voice was clear. “Don’t you think I know that?” came the agitated, muffled response from behind the speaker. “But the game, dad, the game.” Careful/Kruh 2 “Son, I’m trying as hard as I can to fix it,” Theodore said tenderly as he poked his head out from behind the console. “But I can’t make any promises.” Alexander tried to mask his frustration, but what nine-year-old has that capacity? His father smiled sadly.

  • Harry's Diary' Elusive Missing Link to Black Sox Scandal
    ‘Harry’s Diary’ elusive missing link to Black Sox Scandal By Dr. David Fletcher and Paul Duffy Posted Friday, Dec. 28 One of the most significant documents regarding the Black Sox Scandal is “Harry’s Diary.” “Harry’s Diary” is a collection of two ledger and legal pads written by Harry Grabiner, Charles Comiskey’s longtime loyal confidant who served as the White Sox's General Manager from 1915- 1945. Even in partial form with key elements missing, “Harry’s Diary” is a telling and chronological insider’s outline of the events surrounding the initial investiga- tion by Comiskey of the fixing of the 1919 World Series and the events after the fix was exposed in September 1920. Grabiner (1890-1948) had been with the White Sox since 1905, when he started selling scorecards at the old 39th Street Grounds. He left the White Sox in 1946 to join Bill Veeck in Cleveland and died in October 1948. Along with chronological diary journal notations, the “Harry’s Diary” documents also included the 1918 and 1920 White Sox Team Salary List and the Player’s League Constitution and By-Laws1; the 1919 salary list was missing. Harry Grabiner later in life at Wrigley Scintillating excerpts were published by Bill Veeck and Field in the 1940s. Ed Linn in their 1965 book The Hustler’s Handbook (G.P. Putnam.) But an original copy of “Harry’s Diary” does not exist for baseball historians to view and try to make more sense of the Black Sox Scandal. The Hustler’s Handbook was published after Veeck had sold the White Sox for the first time in June 1961 to go “home to die” when he believed he had brain cancer.

The label was responsible for popularizing the pop-punk/emo sound of the early to mid-2000s. After facing financial obstacles in getting their bands' music into stores, Drive-Thru entered into a distribution deal with MCA/Universal. MCA was dissolved and changed into Geffen Records. One of the clauses of that agreement was MCA/Geffen being able to sign any band of their choosing from Drive-Thru's roster. Once the Universal deal ended, they signed a contract with independent label Sanctuary Records. Starting with a new roster, the label garnered a top 10 platinum hit with "Here In Your Arms" by the Hellogoodbye. However, Sanctuary was on the verge of bankruptcy, and sold their assets to Universal Music. Drive-Thru Records got trapped in that deal, and were stuck with UMD, the catalog division of Universal. The label's last release was in 2008, when Richard and Stefanie Reines decided to concentrate on artist management and put Drive-Thru Records on indefinite hiatus.
