The Fed Sox, Perhaps?

This also bears notice:

A regular poster at Soxaholix points out that the new Chairman of the Federal Reserve System, Ben S. Bernanke, is/was a fan of the Boston Red Sox.

I didn't know this until this morning, but then again, I was busy doing other things when the man's name was announced, and monetary policy generally operates above my educational grade. A quick check of Google notes less than eight hundred mentions of it, so maybe it's not super-widespread knowledge.

At any rate, I do not necessarily share in "Mr. Silverstein's" analysis, but it is interesting to note. Anyone who'd cut class at MIT to watch the Red Sox can't be all bad. I just wonder if he has abandoned them for the Washington Nationals, or if it's a two-team thing that I'm remarkably familiar with.
