When I was at NYU in 1982, an old nutter went around the campus, giving out fliers that proved that the opposing outcomes of the 1978 and 1981 World Series showed that the Messiah was coming.

As baseball fans knew, the Yankees defeated the Dodgers in 1978, 4-2, losing the first two games and taking the next four. In 1981, the Dodgers lost the first two games of the World Series to the Yankees, and then took the next four, for a 4-2 score. That was his proof. It was all based on Jewish Kaballah and numerology.

I took the flier, and later showed it to Lou Piniella, as I was covering the Yankees for UPI. He shook his head in disbelief. So did I.
