"Wyatt," says Joe Pepitone of the New York Yankees, "carries so much Vaseline on him that if he slid into second base he'd keep right on going to the leftfield fence." Dean Chance (17-9) of the Minnesota Twins has been accused of "loading" with both saliva and stickum, but he also has plenty of legal stuff on the ball: last week he pitched his second no-hitter in a month-the first...
