He's made 18 straight appearances in the All-Star Game, smashed his 400th home run in September 1999 and collected his 3,000th hit in April 2000.

A mere 14 percent of the entire 1,100-mile Arctic coastal plain has been opened to oil exploration. Furthermore, exploration and development usually occur during the cold winter months, when the temperature falls below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and when there...
...another impressive ECAC goalie made headlines this week as Huskie goalie Erika Silva recorded her 2,000th career save.
