Chapter 414: The Curse of the Holy Child

Dirk didn't drink as much as he was, and by the time his son was over the game, he was too drunk to find the north. Fortunately, his wife also came before the end, otherwise Xiao Peng really didn't worry about him driving drunk and taking the child home.

"Xiao, you must be his godfather for my next child!" Dirk didn't forget to say hello to Xiao Peng when he left, Xiao Peng couldn't laugh or cry, most people in Texas are devout Christians, children will go to church for baptism after birth, and the biological father will appoint a person as the godfather of the child, generally speaking, the godfather of the child should be the most trusted person by the child's father.

For example, when the biological father dies or is seriously ill, the godfather has the responsibility to raise and take care of the child, and when the father of the child is unable to fulfill the responsibility of teaching the child, the godfather should teach the child instead of the biological father, and when the child becomes confused after losing the biological father, the godfather has the responsibility to help the child educate the child.

In any case, this is a very important identity, and as a godfather, you have to bear a very important responsibility, but you can't just talk about it.

"Sorry, Shaw, Dirk is drunk. Dirk's wife apologized to Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand, signaling that it was okay: "It's me who should apologize, how can I get Dirk drunk?"

Dirk's wife helped Dirk and said with a smile: "No, it means that he is very happy, Dirk likes to drink, but the amount of alcohol is not good, he knows this himself, he will only drink two more glasses when he is happy, obviously, he is very happy today." ”

Xiao Peng pointed to Dirk's son and replied with a smile: "He should be happy because of Little Dirk's performance today." Two hits, this is a new generation of Babe Ruth. ”

After Dirk's son heard this, he said angrily: "If I were a new generation of Babe Ruth, I would definitely curse the Chicago White Sox so that they would never win the championship again!"

Xiao Peng smiled after hearing this: "You are a fan of the Houston Astros, young man, come on, fight to join the Astros!"

There are two professional baseball teams in Texas, the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers.

The Houston Astros fit the character of the Texans perfectly, and in the earliest days it was called the 'Houston Point Four or Five Pistol Team', and the stadium was called 'Colt Field', well, the Colt pistols are famous, right? It's definitely Texas style. Although it is now renamed the Astros, and the home stadium is also called the Space Dome Stadium, it still maintains the cowboy style------ as long as a Astros player hits a home run, a cowboy on the scoreboard pulls out a pistol and shoots a bullet, and the bullet rotates around the scoreboard.

But in Texas, the status of the Astros is really not as good as the Rangers, and the reason is a bit ridiculous, because their team style is 'very un-Texan', and for a long time, the Astros were equal to a bad team, and the results have only improved in recent years.

The Astros are a team that started with data analysis, they select players, it is a variety of data analysis, just like game consoles, all players are a string of numbers in their eyes: batting rate, value ratio, turnover rate, etc., etc. They will only pick players who are good and cheap, and then keep making a profit by buying and selling players. Like the Houston Rockets in the NBA, a large number of players are bought and sold each year to make a profit. Although the results are good, there is always no confidence in winning the championship.

In 2005, they reached the finals, but let the Chicago White Sox lose four cities in a row, and they were abused to Xiang, which made people criticize for a long time.

But fortunately, they reached the finals again this year, and defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers with a score of 4:3 to win the world championship, which can be regarded as a raised eyebrow. But in the eyes of die-hard fans, it was the White Sox that made them win the championship twelve years late, so they naturally hated the White Sox.

And Babe Ruth, on the other hand, is one of the greatest players in the history of baseball. His status in baseball is equivalent to Pele's status in football, Jordan's status in basketball, and Ali's status in boxing. But when it comes to him, people are more willing to talk about the legendary 'curse of the Holy Child'.

Babe Ruth, nicknamed 'Holy Child', was bought in 1918 by a wealthy New York man named Harry Fratz after the Boston Red Sox won their last baseball championship in the last century. The latter, in order to meet business needs, sold the greatest Babe Ruth in the history of the Red Sox to the rivals New York Yankees.

Babe Ruth was the most outstanding player of the year, who was born and died for the Red Sox to win the championship, and was Boston's beloved 'city hero', and Babe Ruth also loved Boston and said more than once that he wanted to end his career here. But it was sold, and it was not sold to anyone else, it was the New York Yankees.

The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox are recognized enemies, and more than 100 years later, they are still bitter feuds. Vlatz sent their greatest hero to the enemy, leaving the city furious.

Before leaving, the enraged Babe Ruth angrily said to the fans who didn't know the inside story: "Don't put all the blame on me, if I have to bear the reputation of a traitor, then the Red Sox will never win the championship!" This is the most famous 'Holy Child Curse' in the history of Stars and Stripes sports.

From the time Babe Ruth left until 2004, the Red Sox, which had been a national powerhouse at the beginning of its establishment, had not won a championship in 86 years.

In order to break this curse, the Bostonians also tried their best, went to Baltimore, the birthplace of Babe Ruth, three times to worship, asked for forgiveness and forgiveness, and even invited a wizard to break the law on the court! and paid Babe Ruth's daughter to beg her father to open up the Heavenly Spirit Net, but to no avail. (Who said that foreigners are not superstitious?

For 86 years, Bostonians didn't know what it was like to be a champion! The owner Vlatz also became Boston's biggest sinner, he was not popular anywhere in the city, as the owner of the Boston Red Sox, he could not live in Boston, he could only live in New York, and the business was not going well, and he died sullenly after a few years.

It is precisely because of this kind of thing that the current team is smart, even if they sell their own team's meritorious veterans, they have to make a bronze statue of his jersey at the door of the retirement ceremony or something, do you think it is really respect for the players? NO! That is for fear of another curse! This foreigner is more feudal and superstitious than us.

A person is always very enthusiastic when he is drunk, and a person who is already enthusiastic is even more enthusiastic after being drunk, and Dirk almost dragged Xiao Peng home to worship. I finally coaxed him home. Xiao Peng looked at the time and returned to Prada.

When Xiao Peng returned to Prada, Megan had not yet returned. Xiao Peng looked at his watch, it had already been three hours.

Alas, it is really too difficult to expect women to adhere to the concept of time.

When the waiter saw Xiao Peng coming back, he poured Xiao Peng a cup of coffee very enthusiastically, and asked Xiao Peng to wait while drinking, and when Xiao Peng drank the fourth cup of coffee, Megan and the others finally came back.

Megan was wearing a pink dress, and when she saw Xiao Peng sitting there, she looked shy: "Xiao, do you think I look good like this?"

Xiao Peng looked at Megan and whistled: "Megan, now that I see you on the street, I really don't recognize you! Ms. Royce, you are simply amazing! What kind of magic are you using?" At this time, Megan couldn't tell that she was the country girl in the ranch at all, and now she has completely changed from hairstyle to dress. Saying that she is an Upper East Side socialite has been believed.

The few dresses that Xiao Peng is optimistic about have all been modified according to Megan's body type. That's the absolute fit.

Royce listened to Xiao Peng's words, and finally showed a smile: "Mr. Xiao, it's good that you can be satisfied." Otherwise, it won't be in vain for my hard work. ”

Xiao Peng stretched out his finger: "You are a professional! But there is still a problem." ”

"What's the problem, is there anything else you're not satisfied with?" Royce asked, puzzled.

Xiao Peng shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm so satisfied, it's just that their graduation party will take a while, I don't know if this hairstyle and makeup will last until then?"

Royce laughed, "I've already thought of this question. I've made an appointment with Meghan that on the day of her graduation party, I'll have a team I know go to Meghan's home to provide door-to-door service. ”

Xiao Peng whistled: "Ms. Royce, your service is too intimate." ”

Royce smiled, "I also want to thank you, and Pudge called me again and said he would come and see me." ”

Xiao Peng's face turned green when he heard this, what did he mean? Why did he seem to have heard something terrible? Pagio's romance? Should he tell Miao Miao about this?

Seeing the change in Xiao Peng's face, Royce seemed to guess what Xiao Peng was thinking, and she smiled slightly: "Things are not what you think, Pagio and I are just very good friends." It's been a long time since I've seen each other. ”

Xiao Peng smacked his tongue after hearing this, isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver? What did I say? Thinking of this, Xiao Peng shrugged: "I didn't think about anything, okay." I'm sure you're very good friends. ”

said so, but Xiao Peng's expression still betrayed him, and after Xiao Peng finished speaking, he found that Royce was looking at him with a smile, Xiao Peng coughed dryly: "That, Ms. Royce, since there is nothing to do, then we will go first." Thank you so much for your help today. ”

"Well, you're leaving?" Royce shook his head, "No, no, you can't leave yet." ”

"Uh, why can't I go?" Xiao Peng was puzzled, he didn't let himself leave when things were done?

"As a good male partner, you have to change your clothes and hairstyle. Come on, come with me, and then it's time to witness the miracle. Royce looked at Xiao Peng with a grin.

Xiao Peng felt a sigh in his heart, why is this word so familiar? Damn, Liu Qian really became a hairdresser?
