Sorry Larry i just always think of those world series in the mid to late
50's when i was first learning to walk and talk. The first stuff I heard
being talked about other than "finish your baby food."
I only yesterday found out they'd been battling it out in the early 50's
as well! And so I put that there.
 The Korean War timeline ends in 53. That wouldn't mean you couldn't
stop talking about it. Or the Existential dilemma.
