My boss's Yahoo IM status reads "Babe who?" Baseball fever is nearing fever pitch in New England. And that redundancy is intentional. Not a baseball fan myself, nevertheless I am caught up in it. A friend related that her husband was having a cranky week until the Sox won last night. Otherwise rational people start speaking of annulling curses.

What is the role of professional sport (outside of gambling) in society?
