Oh, crap. Was it George Will who's the Red Sox fan?


Try again :-)

George Will was a Cubs fan in his youth. Then he went Beltway and started
rooting for the Orioles. I don't know whether that was before or after he
changed his mind about taxes: he used to argue that we, as a nation, are
_under_taxed.

John Updike perhaps? He saw Ted Williams last time at bat and wrote a
fairly famous description of the event.
