...Pickettywitch, she even had a hit record to her credit. But three years ago, Rossall began exhibiting extreme sensitivity to virtually all man-made materials. Perfume, synthetic fibers, plastics and processed foods caused her to swell up and vomit. Forced to withdraw to a darkened, air-filtered room in Bristol, Rossall dropped down to 88 Ibs. and became too weak even to lift her head. She seemed fatally allergic to the 20th century...

Crawford followed up an impressive (9-7, 2.64) season in Bristol last year with a strong September with the big club (2-0, 3.62), and his fastball may be the best in the organization.
