...Lemke again, this time scoring on a Jerry Willard sacrifice fly to even the series at two. Raspy old fart that Jack Buck is, I love him to death for this CBS play-by-play call: "[Crack] That's gonna be a winner for Atlanta! The runner tags at third...here's the throw from Mack. Here's Lemke!...He is ou..SAFE, SAFE, SAFE!" (Poor old Jack, muffing a huge call and yet making it sound strangely wonderful, like the Braves' season itself...

Anderson plays humor columnist Dave Barry, a beleaguered family man facing a classic baby-boomer problem: trying to raise three kids while grappling with the realization that he is no longer a kid himself.
