The Klein/Season 21 postseason saw the Alewife Arsonists
and
Boylston Boogers
meet in a long-anticipated rematch of the Red Line Robbery from Klein/Season 3 - time had not healed any of the wounds. The series was a masterclass in focused spite. Like a crazed Boston driver cutting across 4 lanes of traffic just to cut you off while honking at you angrily, the Arsonists aggressively outmaneuvered the Boogers early in every game, using distraction tactics to soften the Booger defenses. Combining confusing maneuvers with choking, hazy diesel fumes from Alewife Station's tunnels rendered the Boogers confused and disoriented, unable to mount a proper defense. The Arsonists took the series 3 games to 1, and ended the Boogers' season like a very thorough nose wipe with a hanky. Alewife fans refer to this series as The Nose Wipe.
The series would later become heavily studied by Golly historians and strategists due to the many innovative and brilliant formations the Arsonists had developed in secret and kept hidden until they were deployed against the Boogers.
