Donnie Donowitz is very specifically a Boston Jew, so it might seem wrong to include the Yankee pinstripe wearing Baseball Furies in the equation, but the introduction of "the Bear Jew" seems to quote The Warriors quite directly with Donowitz unseen down a tunnel banging his bat off the walls, which to me is a quote of the Baseball Furies entrance in the Warriors (or at least the way that I remember that entrance, that they are heard before they are seen.)
I didn't even know that there was a Teddy Williams G.I. Joe until I found it on Google Images.
