'The Curse Of The Bambino.'

Entertaining flick. I was impressed with the gravity the film used when explaining the racial problems the Sox had throughout the 50's and 60's. A little bit of face time was given to Bill Lee's Eephus pitch in 1975 (though he wasn't interviewed,) though not enough time was given to a few other important incidents (like the Armbrister/Fisk call in that same series, Zimmer starting Torrez over Lee in the one-game playoff in '78, ad nauseum.) I was very impressed to see Dave Unger in the first few minutes of the film- little clips of Sox fans. There he was!
