18. Baseball/Movies (Tom Seaver/William Shatner)
Tom Seaver
William Shatner
These two kinda look alike but something about their swagger really makes Tom 'Terrific' Seaver and Star Trek's Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) merge in my mind. They both strike me as having that similar chtuzpah or self-assured almost smug attitude and look about them. If Seaver had been healthy I'm sure my Sox would have won the World Series in '86. It was always some mishap (The Curse of the Bambino?) to derail us prior to 2004. No Conig in'67, no Rice in '75 etc. etc. Shatner and Co. surprised me with Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home (Yaknow, the one with the whales). I fully expected it to be tired and lousy. I was probably jaded since I had just finished viewing Superman 4: Quest for Peace which was horrible. But just 'cuz the 4th installment of Superman stunk doesn't mean the same of Star Trek did. Had a ball watching it!
