When Harry Frazee made the gigantic blunder to sell superstar Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees, the Curse of the Bambino was born. Ever since then, the two boroughs of New York and Boston have consistently and fiercely fought to become one of the greatest sporting rivalries in the world. However, this battle is not simply limited to the baseball diamond. The fans make it complete. And analogous to that, this fierce rivalry recently reached a wedding reception and hilariously concluded with the husband almost pointing the cake-cutting knife toward his wife.

Although the New York Yankees have the upper hand in the overall 2,320 meetings against the Boston Red Sox, in this particular instance, the Red Sox emerged victorious over the Yankees.
The Curse of the Bambino reaches a wedding
In a video uploaded by Talkin’ Yanks and Jomboy Media, a couple is visible trying to cut a cake together at their wedding reception. The cake, adorned with the iconic Yankees symbol and the Pinstripes, seemed to be giving the couple some difficulty in cutting it in half. However, as they continued to struggle, a surprise reveal occurred when someone lifted the top layer of the cake, revealing a hidden Boston Red Sox cake underneath, complete with the Red Sox logo and the team’s name “Boston Red Sox.”

The husband’s previously jubilant expression instantly transformed, as he shook his head in disappointment and disbelief. In a reflexive action, the knife he held in his hand humorously redirected its aim from the Red Sox cake to his wife, explaining his response to this supposedly funny prank.
“Immediate divorce” captioned the Talkin’ Yanks while uploading the video.
How did fans react to this hilarious prank featuring a New York Yankees loss?
Fans, in particular, New York Yankees fans seconded the Talkin’ Yanks caption by stating that the man would’ve immediately moved for divorce following this prank. In addition to that, fans reacted hilariously, while attacking the bride for such a brutal prank, and stating their strong dislike for the Boston Red Sox, which will never fade away.

Nah this is a divorce waiting to happen
