The Case for Dershowitz

I see in my well-thumbed copy of Chutzpah that Dershowitz was a big sports fan as a kid (of course, he's competitive) and "cut classes frequently to attend Brooklyn Dodgers games…" I guess I should have walked to the shelf before sniggering at Dershowitz's allegiance to the Red Sox yesterday. The Dodgers left Brooklyn angry when Dershowitz was still at Yeshiva U. [err–Brooklyn College; went to Yeshiva High]. I lost my Baltimore Colts at the same time in my life and have been football-team-less since, so I can't blame him for switching to the Sox. Though my father-in-law, who grew up in Philadelphia, pulls for the Oakland A's. The Philadelphia Athletics were his team.
