A few years back, when Bill and I bet on the Yankees-Mets World Series, I said the Mets couldn't possibly win with "The Boy in the Plastic Bubble" at first base, meaning John Olerud, who apparently has a skull with the consistency of a soft shell crab, which requires him to wear a batting helmet in the field. Bill paid off with a bottle of Glenmorangie, which was nice. Now the Yanks have signed Olerud to replace Jason Giambi, who has proved that quitting steroids causes tumors.
