...year, he was written up in the MIT student newspaper, The Tech, for his involvement in the theft of a paw from the costume of MIT mascot Tim the Beaver. When an MIT sophomore removed part of the costume to climb on the John Harvard statue, a Harvard student stole the paw, which was mysteriously found in Gilligan’s Holworthy suite.

But not even in a Grapefruit season had two generations ever come to the same stage at the same instant, until Brian singled and stole second in the first inning and Hal followed with a walk. Pausing only for the usual sidelong glance of teammates on base, they both went on to score in a 7-5 Kansas City Royals victory over Philadelphia...
