Little else about the four-game split in Yankee Stadium brought people together. After the seventh inning brawl in the Thursday opener, there were few objective observers in the ballpark, and probably fewer still in the bars of the two cities. Excluding, maybe, the police who had to break up the numerous and sometimes bloody fights in the stands that followed the main event on the field...

...Little League ball game? No way. No. 4, Larry Day, was off to help his Federal Way United Tornado team take on the Auburn Checkmates in a soccer match.

He hasn't even been able to break into the top ten contenders list for the west coast, which is the easiest of all the professional wrestling conferences. The likes of Man Mountain Mike or Pedro Morales could easily win the Olympic wrestling medal--or any other Olympic medal, for that matter! It is a fair bet, in my opinion...
