Hi there! Today I wanted to talk to you about an incredibly fascinating video I came across recently called "Magic Coffee Table". This video showcases a mesmerizing coffee table that is unlike any I have ever seen before. The table seems to have a magical quality to it, as objects placed on its surface appear to float and move as if by invisible hands. It is truly a sight to behold! The video starts with a close-up shot of the coffee table, revealing its sleek and modern design. The table is made from a transparent material, which adds to the illusion of objects floating in mid-air. As the video progresses, we see different items being placed on the table, such as a phone, a book, and even a glass of water.

The curse of the great bambino

Special Features The Curse of the Bambino In theatrical history, Broadway and baseball have not been very compatible companions.

Shows centering on the sport have not done well. There are two theories about this animosity. The first is that more theatre tickets are bought by women than men and that women are not overly fond of the sport. The second theory centers on the legendary "Curse of the Bambino."

In 1916, a Broadway producer and theatre owner named H.H. Frazee (he built the Longacre Theatre) bought the Boston Red Sox. He was an avid baseball lover, but he made a fatal error. In 1920, he sold Boston pitcher Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees. The Red Sox didn't win another World Series for over 80 years (they won in 2004), leading fans to believe the team was under The Curse of the Bambino. To add insult to injury, when reporters asked Frazee why he sold the immortal Babe Ruth to New York, he replied that he wanted the $125,000 to produce a Broadway musical. The show turned out to be the hit No, No, Nanette, which further enraged Boston. Legend has it that since then, no Broadway show about baseball could succeed.

In 1928, sportswriter and humorist Ring Lardner wrote Elmer the Great, a Broadway comedy about a baseball player, played by Walter Huston. The actor gave a brilliant performance as a great pitcher who falls in with the underworld but is saved by the woman he loves (played by Nan Sunderland, who offstage became Mrs. Walter Huston). Produced by George M. Cohan, it was a flop that closed after 40 performances, but was, surprisingly, made into three Hollywood films.

Another prestigious baseball show that failed to gain an audience was the 1981 musical The First. It depicted the struggle of Jackie Robinson (superbly played by David Alan Grier) to break into white-monopolized baseball. Although it received three Tony Award nominations, it closed after only 37 performances.

Of course, there have been notable exceptions that have defied the infamous curse: for example, the 1955 smash hit Damn Yankees, starring Gwen Verdon. But even this show started with a jinx. The musical's initial poster and PLAYBILL cover featured Verdon garbed in a drab baseball uniform, and tickets were not selling very well. When producers changed the cover photo to Verdon in sexy black lingerie (after all, she did play a tempting seductress in the musical), the box office suddenly responded. The show won seven Tony Awards and ran for 1,019 performances. Another exception was Brother Rat. The hit 1936 comedy by John Monks, Jr. and Fred F. Finklehoffe concerned Bing Edwards (played by Eddie Albert), the best pitcher at the Virginia Military Institute, who has problems. He is secretly married and his wife is expecting a baby at the time of his crucial game. The cast also featured José Ferrer and Ezra Stone. It ran for 577 performances on Broadway and was made into three films.

The success of Take Me Out may have put the curse to rest forever. Richard Greenberg's play about baseball won a Tony Award as the Best Play of 2003. Its unusual plot concerned a major league player who comes out of the closet and reveals to the media that he is gay. The show ran for 355 performances.

Finally, there was the Off-Broadway hit that has been touring the country. Nobody Don't Like Yogi stars Ben Gazzara in a one-man show about the legendary Yogi Berra. This triumph is doing much to kill The Curse of the Bambino.

What is the Curse of the Bambino?

The Curse of the Bambino is a legendary superstition that haunted the Boston Red Sox for 86 years, blaming their World Series drought on the sale of Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1919. This tale of baseball lore weaves together sports, history, and mystery. How did this curse shape the team's destiny? Join us as we explore the saga's twists and turns.

The 'Curse of the Bambino' refers to the drought of success that the Boston RedSox Baseball club has endured ever since Babe Ruth was traded. It all started in 1918 when the RedSox won their 5th World Series title - led by the great pitcher and batter, Babe Ruth (also known as "the Babe" or "the Bambino"). A couple of years later, the RedSox decided to sell the Bambino to the New York Yankees, who at the time had never won a championship.

Trades occur frequently in Baseball, but ever since the trade that began the 'Curse of the Bambino', the RedSox were not able to win a single championship, and the Yankees have won a staggering 26 World Series titles; in so doing, the Yankees have become one of the most successful teams in any sport.

Its not that the RedSox fielded poor teams. In fact, the RedSox played in four Championships, but lost each of them in the seventh (and final) game of the series. Even more telling that some sort of 'curse' was at play was the way that they failed even when they had superior teams and excellent chances to win. Will the RedSox ever be able to overcome the 'Curse of the Bambino'? Perhaps someday.

27 October 2004 UPDATE: In an amazing turn of events the Curse of the Bambino has been lifted after 86 years! The Boston Red Sox have won the World Series in four games against the Saint Louis Cardinals, this season's winningest team. In a perfectly fitting twist, the first total lunar eclipse during any world series game presided over the ballpark. Some Red Sox fans will claim that the eclipse was a sign from the baseball gods that Boston had been approved to triumph. Other fans will say that Babe Ruth's ghost had winked at the BoSox, and decided that they had suffered enough through the years.

To fully appreciate the context of this event, it is critical to also consider the ALCS (American League Championship Series). Who did Boston match up with in pursuit of the pennant? None other than the Yankees - the very team who picked up Babe Ruth in 1918! To make it even more dramatic, the Red Sox were down three games to zero and for the first time in major league history, they came back to win a 7-game series with four straight victories!

When all was said and done, the curse didn't subside quietly; the Red Sox triumphed in all of the final 8 contests over the two teams with the best regular-season record in the major leagues. Needless to say, these events are a perfect end to one of the longest-standing curses in professional sports.

The Curse of the Bambino by Bill E. Collins

There is a curse in Mudville town,
but that is just a simile.
For Boston is like Mudville town,
just go ask Johnny Pesky.
There are strange things that happen here
when people think we've won.
But when you think the game is over, the curse has just begun.

Johnny Pesky, Billy Buckner, many victims know,
that Babe the best has cursed the rest
for letting himself go.
We could have been the best they said
if it weren't for no good Frazee,
the owner whose name we dread
for trading good old snazzy.

The victimized players they don't blame
the curse of the bambino.
But in our minds we think the same,
The Red Sox know and we know.
It's just a superstition, Buckner spouted in his youth
but then the curse took on new forms,
like a baseball guided by Ruth.

It doesn't matter through the legs,
or hesitation throw.
There was no wine or party kegs
when they let the big man go.
So the team is gone forevermore
if only Fraz had stopped,
the trade that knocked down Boston's door,
and still torments the sox.

The World Series, they will never be won
by the baseball team That's cursed,
because when you think It's good and done,
It takes a turn for the worst

But somewhere children laugh and dance
and somewhere old men shout.
But there is no joy in Boston,
yes; the Red Sox have struck out..

Author & historian Paul Dickson defined "curse of the Bambino" in The New Dickson Baseball Dictionary (1999) as, "A term created by Boston Globe writer Dan Shaughnessy to emphasize the fact that the Boston Red Sox last won a World Series in 1918 and have not been able to repeat that feat because the team sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees after the 1919 season."

Horror writer extraordinaire Stephen King DOES NOT believe there is a curse and once wrote, "There is no Curse of the Bambino. I, who was writing about curses and supernatural vengence when Mr. Shaughnessy was still learning to eat the ends of Crayolas, tell you that it's so. "
