Somewhere, Babe Ruth is ROTFL

Babe Ruth's gravesite at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Mount Pleasant, New York, became a temple of superstition as both New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox fans left all kinds of memorabilia and messages all over it, in an attempt to either prolong or curtail the "Curse of the Bambino" that has bedeviled Boston since 1918, the year Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold Ruth to the Yankees so he could finance the Broadway show "No, No, Nanette." Since then the Yankees have won the World Series 26 times and the Red Sox have never won it, a record that is currently being tested in the American League Championship Series. "No, No, Nanette," by the way, was such a hit that it continues to be revived even today. Its premiere was in . . . New York.
