No More Curse! A History of the Red Sox

with Author and Historian David Kruh

2025-04-28 19:00:00 2025-04-28 20:00:00 America/New_York No More Curse! A History of the Red Sox David shares roots of baseball when the Red Sox captured the hearts of the people of Boston. Relive the saga of the Red Sox and their ultimately successful struggle for a World Series championship. Virtual -

Monday, April 28
7:00pm - 8:00pm

David shares roots of baseball when the Red Sox captured the hearts of the people of Boston. Relive the saga of the Red Sox and their ultimately successful struggle for a World Series championship.

Take me out to the ballgame with one of our favorite speakers, David Kruh! Based on his research for his musical, David takes us to the roots of Boston baseball, when, just like today, the team captured the hearts of the people of Boston. We will look back at the real story behind Harry Frazee and his sale of slugger Babe Ruth. Relive the (sometimes frustrating) saga of the Boston Red Sox and their ultimately successful struggle for a World Series championship.

About the Author: David Kruh is a former New Yorker and a 1978 graduate of the University of Maryland. While earning his Masters in Computer Engineering at Boston University, David worked as an engineer at WRKO Radio. He has also worked full time as a copywriter, computer programmer, radio producer, radio engineer and, for a few years in the mid-1990s, as a spokesman and web master for the Big Dig. He retired a few years ago from a semiconductor manufacturer, where he was the Direct Marketing Manager. He is also the author of several other books, notably two on Boston's Scollay Square and Building Route 128. David's most recent book is Inseparable.

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.**
