"The Stop Sign" is the most recent episode of The Cleveland Curse. It occurred in Game 7 of the 2007 American League Championship Series between the Cleveland Indians and the Boston Red Sox on October 21, 2007. In the top of the seventh inning, Kenny Lofton was held up as he was rounding third base by coach Joel Skinner. Lofton would likely have scored and would have tied the game at 3, but instead Casey Blake grounded into an inning ending double play. The momentum shifted back to the Red Sox who would eventually go on to win the game 11-2.
