The eleventh annual Greenspan is history. The World Team prevailed 19 1/2 — 16 1/2, their first win since before 9/11. That’s September 11, 2001 — seven years ago.
A few pics (the rest being here):
Sturtevant, me, Waldner, Deandre, and Benezra.

Congrats due to the World Team. They outplayed us from start to finish. We did, however, outdress them. While the Seattle Team sported smart high-end shirts from Greg Norman and Tiger Woods . . .
the Worlds appeared to have picked their uni’s in the dark:
Their Saturday whites from Antigua featured scales on the back and had players dubbing themselves “Team Sockeye.”
Whose bright idea was it to put scales on the back of a shirt?
As bad as they were, they may have been eclipsed by Sunday’s disco brown bubble jobs:
Part Native American totem pole, part '70's wallpaper.
Not sure what the thinking was there, but either one has to go down among the ugliest uniforms in sports history.
