Boston might be out of the World Series, but from disgruntled Red Sox fans to native New Yorkers, many Harvard students have a stake in the latest series.
"I'll drop out if the Yankees don't win," quipped Eliot House resident Osborne A. Jackson '02.
As a result of the Subway Series between the New York Mets and New York Yankees, the rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and the Yankees is finding new life on campus.
Many Boston fans, like Patrick F. Morrissey '04, are allied against the Yankees.
"I'm a Red Sox fan, so I want the Mets to win," he said.
Other students, like Geoffrey S. Harcourt '04, have taken the rivalry a step further. "As a true Bostonian, I want them both to lose," Harcourt said.
Bostonians aren't the only students who have turned against New York. Some see this year's World Series as a battle between New York and the rest of the world.
"I hope there's an earthquake in New York," said Charles D. Cheever '03, who is from Pittsburg.
