What changed for the Yanks is free agency allowed George to go after whoever he wanted. While both the Sox and the Yanks are big market teams, Yankee stadium I think holds around 55K where fenway is mid to high 30's. Plus George's Yes net work and personal funds allow him to spend what he wants.
This changed recently for the sox, the new owners are getting every penny they can from this team and putting it into payroll (Well, after their loan payment).
the sox had some good teams in the 80's... and got beat by the mets and late 80's faced a better Oakland team.
It's that simple... the curse is just a refrence point to the last win... that's all...
I mean, the sox had ruth in 1919, but didn't win... so how could Ruth be the curse?
