We met twice with the players in Cincinnati because we all feel that something has to be done. At Cincy, they were selling t-shirts with "Doubles Yes" on the front and "ATP No" on the back.

Until splintering a leg in the '60s sliding into home, he was slated to be a primary cog in the Big Red Machine but ended up a legendary figure only among the other players...
...Texas. Members of the feuding Navajo and Hopi Indian tribes have got together to endorse the event. Along a ten-mile stretch in New Mexico, thousands of hot-air balloons will ascend simultaneously. The chain will snake through the Pittsburgh Pirates' Three Rivers Stadium, where Pete Rose's Cincinnati Reds will be playing, so that fans and players can join hand to glove...
