The wily old general manager had one last trick up his sleeve. It was just before the championship and the opposing team’s quarterback was a total ringer—a kid who played big-time ball in high school at the nearby prep academy and Division I at the college down the road. The kind of guy who could topple his Mill Valley flag football dynasty and snatch a fifth championship from his grasp.
So the night before, he invited the quarterback to a concert, Neil Young’s famous Bridge School benefit at the Shoreline. He recruited, according to friends, two “beautiful hippie chicks” to keep the quarterback’s cup full and asked that they not bring him back until just before kickoff.
