...biggest hit of Henderson's career came in the 1986 playoffs with Boston. His home run rescued the Red Sox when they were one out from elimination in Game 5 against California. He went on to bat .400 in the World Series loss to the New York Mets, but was traded to San Francisco midway through the next season...
...past, the Winthrop grill has been known as "The Bat Cave," but this year's managers are considering, among other suggestions, renaming it "Mort's Place" and showing the Morton Downey Jr. show at 11:30 p.m. every night. "We want to turn it into a house-oriented activity," says Choo, "rather than just going down and getting a hamburger...
...gymnastics, officials were also in the thick of the fight. Judge Ellen Berger, a pin-eyed East German with the soul of Leo Durocher, detected a U.S. irregularity involving the bat boy. Poor Rhonda Faehn: three years ago, at 14, she left Coon Rapids, Minn., for Houston to tumble with the other dolls at the trick knee of the Rumanian defector Bela Karolyi. When she missed making the Olympic team by 0.1 point, he brought her along as a roustabout. Docked 0.5 points for Faehn's harmless presence on the platform, the U.S. women lost the bronze medal...

After studying 23 varsity baseball players at the University of Florida campus in Gainesville, Portal thinks he knows why. ; In last week's New England Journal of Medicine, Portal and fellow Researcher Paul Romano reported that it's mostly a matter of eye-hand dominance. The better pitchers -- and poorer hitters -- tend to have a dominant, or favored, eye and hand on the same side. But good hitters have...
...home run right off the bat: the perfect note played on a party horn. Then the bottom of the inning kept on that way, fast and farfetched. Mitch Webster singled and Ryne Sandberg was up. Out of the rightfield stands popped Morganna, the floppy exhibitionist with the unmissable kisser, racing for the batter's box on mincing old-ballplayer feet that brought back the newsreels. She couldn't make it past the security guards to Sandberg, but she got to him anyway. His giggling homer gave Chicago a 2-1 lead...
