October 2004 lunar eclipse

A total lunar eclipse took place on October 27, 2004, the second of two total lunar eclipses in 2004, the first being on May 4, 2004. It was the first lunar eclipse to take place during a World Series game, which when seen from Busch Memorial Stadium in St, Louis, Missouri, provided a surreal sight on the night the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years to end the Curse of the Bambino. Occurring 5.6 days before apogee (Apogee on Tuesday, November 2, 2004), the Moon's apparent diameter was smaller. The moon was 10.1 days after perigee and 5.6 days before apogee. A book featuring the 86 year curse being broken with a total lunar eclipse just published 2020 along with many other total lunar eclipses and other New England supernatural stories the whole world should read.
