Start of article from SI.com:

"This is all that remains of 'The Curse:' five neatly typed pages, two bold signatures, and the scars from 86 years of torment.

The torment was free. But the original 1919 contract delivering Babe Ruth from Boston to the Bronx, forever altering baseball history and the pysches of countless Red Sox fans, is expected to draw bids of more than $500,000 when it goes on the auction block June 10."

There's some other really interesting items in this auction as well, so check out the details.
