...smash for Jacobs. He keeps essentially all voting rights and pockets enough cash to go shopping finally for the pro football team he's wanted ever since the Cleveland Browns fled to Baltimore two years ago. What do the buyers get? A stock certificate that says all-stars Sandy Alomar and David Justice work for them now. But of course we know that athletes work for themselves. So all that the shareholders really get is a fancy sheet of paper that may or may not develop collectible value. There's little else to underpin the stock--no dividend, no earnings...

...rans, once more linked by October karma, this time considerably less auspicious than the last, and Godspeed to the survivors; may Omar Vizquel drag-bunt his way into our hearts and minds (now that Chad Curtis isn't around to come barging into second base standing up), may Roberto Alomar keep his well-travelled salivary glands in check, and may Greg Maddux and Kevin Brown pitch a 22-inning scoreless...
