Willie, Mickey & the Duke

Glad to see two historic franchises battling out in the World Series this year. Don't have particularly strong feelings for or against either team. I always have respected the appreciation that St. Louis fans have for their team, and for baseball in general. As a Giants fan, I can related somewhat to Boston fans, as they often are overshadowed by a high-profile rival (Yankees and Dodgers), and they have gone a long time without a World Series title. Granted, the Sox have gone much longer.

I'll be curious to see what happens to Boston if the Sox do win the WS. The Curse seems to be their raison d'etre. It might result in the baseball equivalent of the last scene in the Robert Redford movie 'The Candidate.'
