Although I've sometimes been a surrogate Sox fan myself (WHO couldn't LOVE
the team that plays half each season's games in Fenway?), I'd have to say
it's almost inconceivable to me that Jerry would cheer for ANY team that
wasn't New York based....  I'd prefer it if he was a die-hard fan of the
early 1950s Brooklyn Dodgers--who are, alas, no longer with us....  having
fled for the fairweather baseball fans of LaLa Land......But I think it much
more likely (given, for example, Holden's family background and turf....) he
still believes that Giants will take the Yankees in four games....  I'm
speaking, of course, about the pre-1958 NEW YORK Giants, who hadn't yet
followed the unfortunate Dodgers west, where neither team has lived up to
the promise that they'd 'grow up with the country'.... Of course, whoever
wrote the Glass saga posesses an IQ that would prevent anything more than
abuse for the Mets....  And it's WAY TOO EASY to cheer for the Yankees....
So, by process of elimination, it has to be the 1956 New York Giants!
(Who's smart enough to generate a cyber-game between that team and ANY
vintage RedSox team?)

(of course, anybody in their right mind in 1999 is already betting BIG BUCKS
on the Toronto Blue Jays.......)
