...want to deal with the media circus when Manny returns - just ask the San Francisco Giants, who a few years ago had Barry Bonds on the roster, how the constant scrutiny can distract a team. There will be taunting on the road. The fans will be wielding some nasty signs: Ramirez reportedly may claim that he took a banned drug called human chorionic gonadotropin to cure erectile dysfunction (the female fertility drug also happens to elevate testosterone levels, which get drained by, coincidentally, steroid use).

He opens it and pop!, out springs Jack, a lithe, saucy, strutting trickster (Adam Mike Tyus). This Jack-be-limber cues an instant circus fantasia: 16 scamps in parade regalia (gold jackets, white pants, red fezzes) who launch into a charivari - the kind of tumbling act that populates your most soaring dreams, where you feel graceful and defy gravity. At the rear of the stage there's a three-story bandstand, which goes unnoticed...
