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. The team sports phenomenon worldwide is played out again in micro/macrocosm. Does your self esteem rise and fall on the fortunes of one gang of athletes in matching togs? What is the role of professional sport (outside of gambling) in society?
