The Cleveland Indians Didn’t Break My Heart

Let me tell you something you may not already know.

Baseball will break your heart.

It’s a tough sport to love. It’s long. It’s slow. There are way too many games. Sometimes the weather prevents play. It tests your patience every single night.

But I love it.

“Careful, kid. They’ll break your heart.”

These are the words spoken by a man named Uncle Carl to a young boy named Ben Wrightman in the 2005 feel good romantic comedy, Fever Pitch.

The fictional movie is based around the true events of the 2004 Boston Red Sox who break “The Curse of the Bambino” and capture that elusive title.
