Read this excellent article from ESPN.com's Paul Lucas about how a photo reveals a double curse in '86.  You can see Bill Buckner right after missing that ground ball down the first base line.  He look his glove off to reveal a Cubs batting glove underneath his mitt. 

Buckner's explaination:  "I didn't even realize I was wearing it."

This isn't a photo shopped deal either....it is a legit picture.  Buckner was a Cub before being dealt to the Sox in 1984.  Also, it wasn't Buckner's lucky glove....since he was seen a year earlier with a more worn out Cubs batting glove on [the article has a picture to show that]. 

I like the timing of this....since that picture was taken in a Game 6 of a series that the Mets trailed 3-games-to-2....just like tonights game with the Cardinals.  And, eerily, the Cards have lost the last THREE series they were leading 3-2 heading into Game 6. 

All you Curse Fans out there....please feel free to check this article out....as it may stir up some more harsh feelings inside you.

  A double curse cancels itself out, and ends up as a blessing. Therefore, I surmise that the glove is a Smiley face.
