Being a Phillies fan myself, I enjoyed this story from Law.com about Supreme Court Justice Samuel AlitoJr.: “Sitting Down With Justice Alito, the Supreme Phillies Fan.” Excerpt:
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Jr. has turned his desk at the Court into a mini-shrine to the Philadelphia Phillies.There’s a Phillies towel, the front page of Thursday’s Philadelphia Inquirer with a headline proclaiming “CHAMPS!” and a baseball hat marking the team’s playoff win. The World Series hat, he says, “is on the way.” . . .
He watched the Series games on television, but was “living and dying with every pitch.” Does he yell at the television? “There’s a lot of emotion, but I’m very quiet.”
