Template:Infobox characterAccording to legend, the Kid was responsible for the Curse of the Kid which caused the longest championship-losing streak of any team in the history of the league for the Elwood City Grebes.
The Curse of the Kid
As told by Francine in The Curse of the Grebes, the Kid was a young boy in 1918 when Ray “Woodpecker” Vance hit an out-of-the-park homerun that won the Grebes the game and the World Championship. The Kid and two other boys were standing on a building next to the stadium. The ball fell into the building’s gutter. The Kid climbed down the fire ladder, raced around the building and caught the ball before it hit the ground.
Just then the Grebes’ owner Horace P. Crane arrived and demanded the ball. The Kid spat on the ball and said: “Then with this ball I put a curse on your crummy team! You’ll never win another championship!”
The Curse Lifted
According to Harry Mills, the second cousin’s nephew’s niece found the ball in her attic in 2005 and laid it at the Kid’s tombstone, thus breaking the curse. Anyway, that year the Grebes won the World Championship for the first time after 87 years.
Whether the curse really existed is disputed within the show. Buster and Francine believe it, Brain does not.
