Red Sox to Face Voldemort?

[Eustace_Scrubb]

First my apologies to non-baseball fans...

A column in today's Boston Globe suggested that fans of the Boston Red
Sox baseball club should stop worrying about their current playoff
opponent, the Anaheim Angels, and instead look forward to a series
against their perennial tormentors, the New York Yankees.

The headline read:  

"Get ready for you-know-who"

Now, it's true that one of the Boston team owners referred to the
Yankees as the "Evil Empire" last year...and there is the little
matter of the Curse of the Bambino (Babe Ruth) that has according to
legend kept the Red Sox from winning the World Series since 1918.

But now apparently they have Voldemort to deal with as well...

Cheers,

(Who will have to check the timeline on the Harry Potter Lexicon to
see whether any events in the year 1918 could have had an influence on
American baseball fortunes.)
