Jerry,

Fair enough. It depends on who is claiming they have nothing to prove. Wonder who you might be thinking of. . . ?

I was just recalling that when I was much younger my brother and I used to play table tennis in the basement of our house. I beat him 87 straight games. One day, and I still don't know how, he managed to take a game. It was probably the happiest day of his life and he never let me forget it. Somehow I picture that that's how it will be when the Red Sox finally win the World Series.
