Friday’s Wall Street Journal featured this story in its Friday Journal sction:

Tell Babe Ruth to enjoy another quiet glass of whiskey at his corner table. Red Auerbach can take his victory cigar outside. Send Vince Lombardi’s Packers an honorary cheesehead in commiseration. “La Roja,” the Spanish national soccer team, may soon surpass them.

Even so, the hardworking staff says:

Feh.
