Signs of the ending of a curse?

Coen and John Redding, a fellow brewmeister, received what they interpret as an irrefutable sign yesterday, just before the Red Sox took on the Texas Rangers: a 1918 penny stuck to the counter of their Heineken and Miller beer stand.

Rumors, superstition, and unbridled hope abound amongst vendors and fans at the park, Coen said. And signals that the team's sixth World Series win could be imminent just keep coming.

For example, Gabe Kapler and Johnny Damon sometimes stand together in the outfield, Coen said. Their numbers: 19 and 18.

Then there was the teenager struck by a foul ball last Tuesday. His address: Ruth's old house in Sudbury.

The 16-year-old boy had his two front teeth knocked out, and some fans now wonder whether his sacrifice could have lifted the Curse. Especially after the Yankees suffered their worst-ever loss that same night, under a nearly full moon.



wow, but then again "maybe the absence of signs is a sign"
