I couldn’t resist snapping this picture earlier this week of the eponymous statue outside my hotel, the Sheraton Commander, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. When a statue of the commander of the Continental Army, old George Washington himself, is rooting for the Boston Red Sox, you know they’re going to go all the way. As of Tuesday, when I took this picture, the BoSox had won only the American League pennant; as of writing this post, they’re two games up on the Colorado Rockies and clearly the favourites to win the Fall Classic as it moves to mile-high country.
George would be proud.
