When picked up, he said that he had "an 86-year-old curse" to break. In 2004, the Red Sox once again met the Yankees in the American League Championship Series.

Master of the Bambino Vispo Master of the Bambino Vispo The Master of the Bambino Vispo was a central-Italian painter active in the early 15th century. In the early 20th century, the art historian Osvald Sirén identified a group of unsigned paintings as being by the same artist. Sirén designated the artist as the Master of the Bambino Vispo (Master of the Lively Child) due to the unusually lively expression and movement of baby Jesus in these paintings. The paintings Sirén wrote about are: Three painters, Pietro di Domenico da Montepulciano (active 1418-1422), Parri Spinelli (1387-ca. 1453), Miguel Alcanyis (active 1408-1447) and Gherardo Starnina (1354–1403),
