...Boston brass to see if the BLOHARDS would like to gaze upon, and pose with, the championship trophy. This dazzling hardware was to begin its triumphal procession in Providence on Thursday, and needed to be back in Foxboro to be trotted out at the Pats game by Curt Schilling and Johnny Damon on Sunday night, but Dr. Charles Steinberg, the Sox' impresario without peer, could escort it to Gotham for a Friday p.m. audience-if so desired.
