...hoist it up, rotating it as it goes. Stop it 13 ft. or so in the air, when it's at an angle to its floor position. Its perimeter, in rising, will have generated a curving shape, an extremely twisted or "torqued" elliptical cylinder. Not a section of a cone (the cone diminishes towards its vertex) but something else, a curvature whose radius does not alter but whose walls constantly change their angle. Then make it out of steel plates, 2 in. thick. You will end up with a shape that has not been used in sculpture before, and that...

Then he crushed one in Game 2 on Wednesday to beat back the Rangers. And Friday -- well, the way Yankees starter David Cone attracts run support, we could see some playoff records fall...
