The Question Of Divine Intervention

Skip Sauer on the improbability of the way the Red Sox won:

The odds against LLL-WWWW-WWWW in a sequence of coin flips are 2047 to 1. Yes, Sox fans, deliverance from the curse of 1918 was a near miraculous event.

Actually, as I recall, when we add the Division Series against the Angels, the sequence was actually WWW-LLL-WWWW-WWWW.

    Hey, I might still be around. So might baseball.
