It's also the battle between "L" and "J", given that both San Francisco and
Kansas City have Federal Reserve Banks.
If you haven't yet "gone electric", and you have Federal Reserve Notes
about your person, you may see a seal for the Federal Reserve bank with
these letters. On more modern bills, there is a generic Federal Reserve
seal with the issuing bank indicated above and to the left ("L12" for San
Francisco, and "J10" for Kansas City -- the number just indicates the
position in the alphabet for the letter).
What this means is that we have the means to play WORLD SERIES (when the
teams come from Federal Reserve cities) SOLITAIRE!
To play: Pull your bills out of your wallet/purse, without sorting them.
Now, examine the bills in order. A bill coming from San Francisco
indicates a run for that team. Similarly, a bill from Kansas City is a run
for *that* team. Any bill from *another* Federal Reserve bank (i.e., not L
or J) indicates the end of an inning (to speed play). Also, if your last
bill was from one team, and the current one is from the other, we've had a
change of possession (three outs).
If you run out of bills before a complete game (5 innings), then this is
considered a "rain-out" (since, presumably you recently "made it rain" at a
local establishment you *allegedly* frequent :-)).
If the game is tied at the bottom of the ninth inning (or succeeding
innings), you can exchange players by, for instance, exchanging a
previously-played ten-dollar bill for ten ones (at whatever facility you
find willing to do this), and then playing forward with these.

P.S. Uh oh, looks like San Francisco is winning 2-0, tonight! ;-)
