 The Legend of the Curse of the Bambino Feb 21, 2007
The Legend of the Curse of the Bambino is a joy to read. It talks about Babe Ruth in his baseball career. This is a very intense story.
This story captures the magic of baseball. It shows the smiles and the tears that are a part of this game. The invisible bond among the generations is inspiring. The new players remembering the old players, really shows the dedication and love they have for this sport. The Legend of the Curse of the Bambino shares the joy of rooting for a team. When the fans get excited when their team wins is so exhilarating.
This book is a blessing for all ages. The pictures are very interesting and detailed. The clippings from the newspaper are a great touch to the story.

 Unadulterated Garbage Dec 06, 2007
By Rederring MacGuffin
Let's be clear about what this book is. With his adult version of this book, The Curse of the Bambino, Dan Shaughnessy milked a series of Red Sox failures for nearly two decades before the team won a World Series. He would work a mention of the alleged curse into practically every column he wrote about the Red Sox. It was unvarnished hucksterism at its worst. With this book, Shaughnessy is attempting to repackage his nonsense into a children's book that can continue his flow of royalties now that the "curse" no longer exists. Not surprisingly, the writing is terrible, as it's simply a mail-in job.
Parents considering buying this book should also consider that Shaughnessy has used his column to mock and demean players on the Red Sox. Harsh criticism is expected from sports columists, but calling one player a "piece of garbage" and mocking another's documented mental disability is beyond the pale. Is this the sort of person you want to support with your purchases?

 The legend of the Curse of the Bambino Nov 12, 2005
By Marie V. Thomas
Sorry, but, the reviews I have just read on Amazon,in my opinion, missed the point. The "Red Sox Curse" is essentially a legend that has been around for years, and Dan Shaughnessy's book does a great job to break it down-simply-for kids. The illustrations are great for kids and the text is simple and to the point. The book does a great job in getting the story (LEGEND) across to kids. By, the way, I'm a transplanted "New Yorker" into the Boston area, and I didn't know the legend. I, as well as my two young girls, loved the story. It gave us a whole new perspective.

 Good...If you believe in witchcraft Sep 08, 2009
By Jason Kirkfield
"The Pride and Sorrow of children's book reviewers"
Admittedly I am a Yankees fan, but I still thought--at first--this seemed like a cute book. Indeed, I even gave it as a gift to expectant parent friends from New England.
But if I'm honest, I have three problems with it.
1a: First and foremost, it perpetuates a "Curse" which was simply a face-saving method of making excuses. As better writers have said, it rationalized--even justified--ineptitude, making losing a badge of honor for Red Sox fans.
1b: The basis for said "curse" does indeed appear to be anti-Semitic in nature. (A 'Curse' born of hate, by Glenn Stout/ESPN).
2: Finally, and especially on subsequent re-readings, the book seems light. I understand it is a book for young readers, but where is the explanation for how the Sox won in 2004, other than a full moon? If there was such a "curse," how was it finally reversed?

Attention good parents: Don't let Shank disappoint your kids! Oct 14, 2005
By W. Joyce
One would think Shaughnessy, a.k.a The Shank, would be perfect writing for children. His Boston Globe columns amount to no more than childish drivel. Yet one should expect a writer who is so disappointing to adults to do likewise for kids. He attempts here to get his claws into children and brainwash them into believing his so-called "curse" gibberish, and therefore perpetuate his own revenue stream. The Shank's hope, so transparently self-serving, is that these kids will grow up buying more of his foolish fiction. The real "curse" was the alcoholic haze under which the Red Sox were run and managed by the Yawkeys, Harrington, et al(thank you Clark Booth and Leigh Montville, two real journalists, for pointing this out). Parents: Be warned! Keep your kids away from The Shank.
