...Last week, Phil Niekro and Steve Carlton established a new major league record when they became the first tandem of 300-game winners to pitch in the same game for the same team. They also join Don Sutton, Tommy John and Phil's brother Joe as pitchers with ages over 40. Name the oldest pitcher to have ever pitched in a major league game...
Among the familiar names are Palandjian and fellow Co-Captain Bill Stanley. Palandjian, who is entering his fourth season on the team, is currently ranked 28th in the nation. Last year, he scored a big victory over Stanford's Patrick McEnroe (brother of John McEnroe) in the NCAA tournament...

Photos of his sister in her 20s reveal mischievous Tartar eyes and a determined jaw. In the 1940s, she could have been one of the European film beauties who used only one name, like Valli and Annabella. In the '80s, her diary could yet make her a "hot property." Perhaps even now, Meryl Streep's telephone is ringing off the hook...
