Destruction of Babe Ruth Jersey
jessenyfan
purchased one of only 3 known Babe Ruth home jerseys. They plan on
chopping it into little bits and sticking it in baseball card packs.

This, to me, is horrible. It's like cutting up a Monet painting, or
an original Honus Wagner baseball card, or the Lincoln monument, and
selling the bits on the street corner.
I e-mailed them and said I wouldn't ever buy another card they make if
they do this. Nor, eventually, will my children. Perhaps you might
agree . . .
And, knowing this newsgroup, it will be interesting to see how many
folks feel exactly the opposite, as happens on any given issue.

I agree with you. Some things just shouldn't be for sale.

there is no CURSE. The only thing the Red Sox was cursed with was horrible
management.

But that CURSE is still having an impact on you. What does Bucky Dent or
Bill Buckner have to do with management?

fanatics and Yankee fanatics have. There is no such fucking curse. The
curse was invented by some coward because it didn't have the balls to
publicly decry the blunders made by management throughout the entire history
of the modern era in Boston. The curse is just a lame excuse to keep the
fan entertained during the off season. And whatever happened in 1986,
happened. The Red Sox lost the WS in 1986. The Red Sox lost that game
where the Fucky Dent hit that homer. The Red Sox lost in 1999. There is no
other culprit. And while the Red Sox keep coming in 2nd or 3rd, the only
culprit are the Red Sox and Co. The fat fuck is dead and has no dibs in the
outcome of whatever has, is, or will happen.

I tend to agree with you philosophically, and you have every right to
express your indignity and displeasure, but, ultimately, you probably
already recognize that it's their jersey and they can do anything they
want with it or to it.
It's like the non-issue of flag "desecration": If somebody buys a U.S.
flag, it belongs to him -- not to me, not to you, not to veterans,
not to the government, not to "all of us" -- and he can do whatever he
wants with it. Seems obvious to me, but it's also obvious that a lot
of people aren't yet comfortable with the free-society thing.
