I'm shocked he stayed healthy as long as he did.
First of all, there's no such thing as a curse.

Secondly, how do two or three exceptions invalidate the curse? Not everyone on the cover of SI implodes. Both Lewis and Faulk showed statistical declines, which would be continuations of the "curse". George is the only clear exception in my eyes.
