Baseball fans recall that in 2013, when the Dodgers clinched the National League West Championship, they did it at Chase Field in Phoenix. After winning the game they proceeded to celebrate by jumping in the Chase Field swimming pool.
I declared in 2013 that from that moment on, the Dodgers would be haunted by the “chlorine curse.” They have exited the playoffs every year since and this year was no exception.
Losing to the Astros in the seventh game of the World Series was about as sweet as karma gets for all of us fans who loathe the Dodgers. They lost this year with what many baseball experts say was the strongest team money could buy.

It’s a fact, baseball curses last 100 -plus years. Just ask the Red Sox’s “curse of the bambino,” the Cubs’ “Billy goat curse,” and now the Dodgers’ “chlorine curse.” Only 94 years to go. Looking forward to continued updates on the “chlorine curse.”
