Rest in Peace

You know how they say that the elderly often die after major events, as if they were waiting for something important and once it happens, they let go of the will to live because they are now satisfied? It's the reason that the number of elderly deaths spikes after the holidays, or after graduation (waiting to see their grandchild be the first to graduate college in their family) etc. I'd love to see how many elderly Red Sox fans have passed away in the past month. I'd also love to see if there is a spike in the number of births to Red Sox Nation members nine months from now. =)

From Mom - the only problem with obtaining this demographic would be identifying the members of the Red Sox Nation - how does a researcher looking at aggregate mortality numbers know how many were members of the Red Sox Nation? Still, it would be an interesting statistic to know, wouldn't it? Hope the reading is going well.
