Just two months after the end of the Curse of the Bambino, the Red Sox have brought in the modern player who has done most to emulate Babe Ruth himself: David Wells has signed with Boston, and assuming Pedro Martinez stays, will replace Derek Lowe as the Sox' #3 starter.
It's a way to get back at Steinbrenner to sign a two-time former Yankee who the team still coveted, while Wells -considering his colorful personal history- should be a good fit with "The idiots." However, remains to be seen whether SonsofSamHorn regular Rocco Graziosa will change his name.
