We're both big baseball fans, although he's a Red Sox fan and I'm a Yankee fan, so finding common ground could be a little tricky. But when we hit on this idea of haunted baseball, we liked it not only because, you know, we had heard the stories, the curse of the Bambino story for the Red Sox and the curse of the goat for the Cubs, and we figured there had to be more stories like that out there.
