...arm of Rob Alevizos finally thawed out from April's chill, and the junior notched his first complete game and victory up north this season. Despite some sloppiness in the late innings ("I was putting it over the middle of the plate with count 0-and-2--what was I thinking?" he said afterwards), Alevizos was virtually untouchable through the first seven innings and at one point retired 12 straight batters without...

Then came the more solemn religious ceremony in a tapestry-draped 12th century...
...typewriters and tell tales out of the clubhouse. Jim Bouton perfected the pitch with Ball Four, and as a sequel ex-Yankee Sparky Lyle this season spikes up dirt about the world champs in The Bronx Zoo. Then there's Philadelphia Phillies Reliefer Tug McGraw, 34. When his arm is in the whirlpool, McGraw's mind is busy thinking up baseball fairy tales for children. He is working on one about a boy from the Bowery and his dog who both make it to the majors and another in which balls, bats and gloves come alive...
