| Maximón |
With all the talk of curses prior to the Red Sox breaking their 86-year drought in 2004, we never suspected the intervention of a Mayan God. However, according to Oakland A's fan
Jake Stamp, he and a friend (a Red Sox fan known only as
"Billy"), the Mayan God "Maximón" may have played a role in the historic outcome of the 2004 season. Stamp and Billy
made a pilgrimage to a Guatemalan shrine to Maximón and did the requisite things to bring good fortune to The Carmine Hose and bad vibes to The Evil Ones. We needn't tell you what happened. Hey, it's as reasonable an explanation as any.
