Do you know Where Nomar comes from

The Boston Red Sox is top team in the MLB(Majoy League Baseball) but it hadn't won championship for eighty-six years.This was a well-known curse.It was called The Curse of the Bambino(Babe Ruth's nick name).

Babe Ruth had been the most famous MLB star in his career who created many records which were not broken until recent years .In 1918,he won a fifth World cup for the Boston Red Sox.He inquired about increasing his salary but his boss didn't agree him.

In 1920,He was traded to the Yankees of New York ."I'll do my best for the Yankees"said Ruth before he left the Red Sox.Thereafter,the Yankees founded a baseball dynasty.

However,The Red Sox hadn't won any championship since 1918."I curse the Red Sox and they won't won championship 100 years"said Ruth.Is it the truth or not?Nobody knows.Most people believe it but some people thought it was rediculous.

Nomar~ The name comes from Anthony Nomar Caciaparra.He is a shortstop who comes from America and belongs to The Dodgers of Los Angeles at the moment.In 1994,He was in the farm(minor league) for two years.Nobody knew about him.In 1996,he got an opptunity to upgrade to MLB.Between 1997 and 2003,he became Superb and won many awards.For instance,Rookie Player of the Year Award,Silver Slugger Award.He was brilliant in these years.

In 2004.He was injured and unable to play for the whole season but shortstop is a very important position in the baseball game.The boss didn't really want to traded him.The Res Sox team had a good opportunity to upgrade to a season off game.Eventually,he was treaded to the Cubs of Chicago .

There are 7 games in the league Championship.Red Sox team had lost three games already.According the MLB history.No team has never won when they had lost three games even going to game 7."Going to sixth game at least please"said Red Sox boss.He seemed to give up.Is it the curse ?

They not only defeated Yankee four games in a row then defeated ST.Louis Cardinals.They won the World cup in 2004.It was inconceivable,unbelieveble and unlikely.Nobody could believe them but they did."Cursed" This word was a headline in the USA.Most of the Boston's people wanted to celebrate that because this was a commemoration .

There wasn't any mention of Nomar.Nobody remembers where Nomar is,but I do.

In 2005,he was traded to Dodgers from Cubs because he had been injured.

However,he had never given up.He got over it and went back to the baseball field in 2006 and won the Comeback Player of the Year Award this year.He is still marvellous in the MLB at the moment.His spirit really impresses me.

Our life is just like waves which sometimes we can go to the top and somethimes the opposite.This cycle has happened for ever.This is a fact of life.The human body is weak but our willpower is infinite.
