...just unbelievable," said Jerome police officer Butch Tuxhorn, who estimated that 80% of the town's homes suffered some damage. Driving the streets around Springfield, traffic was jammed as police shut down major streets here to make way for the tow and electrical trucks, the diggers and the emergency equipment that scattered across the city to begin shoving aside nature's litter. Some of the capitol building's windows were blown out and other government buildings suffered some damage...

Young Roger Clemens, a rook, seemed bewildered by the BLOHARDS when he was a guest at the first club lunch I attended. And, memorably, Butch Hobson, when he was manager, threatened to take us on en masse during his remarks after Berry had tweaked Hobson?s third-base coach, the immortal Zimmer, in commentary during the slide show. Hobson really was fuming. It was a tense moment. I don?t think it had anything...
