amberfox: Nina Totenberg talking about the Supreme Court under Blackmun:
• On October 10th, 1973, at the height of the pennant race and with Vice President Spiro Agnew in legal trouble, this note came in from the clerks and was passed among the justices: "Vice President Agnew just resigned. Mets 2, Reds nothing."
To which I can only say: corrupt assholes in the Vice Presidency come along more often than I care to count (look at Dick "Penis" Cheney). But the '73 Mets? Now that was a once-in-a-lifetime team.
