...what brought the Yankees to their showdown with the Braves. At their best, the Yankees' somewhat aged starters--the thirtysomethings David Cone and Roger Clemens, the 27-year-old Andy Pettitte and the your-guess-is-as-good-as-his Orlando ("El Duque") Hernandez--almost match up with Atlanta's foursome of Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, Kevin Millwood and Tom Glavine.

It's just the sort of place that would boast about having the busiest airport, which seems a bit like boasting about having the world's largest traffic jam. Asian cities like Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong and Shanghai have become Atlanta. Eager to call attention to their commercial muscle, they all have tallest-building projects. They're like a family that moves into a fancy neighborhood...
