Eszterhas' imaginative flair was too much of a good thing during his early years as a newsman at the Cleveland Plain Dealer, where one of his stories cost the paper $60,000 in damages for what, on appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed were "calculated falsehoods." By the time the decision came down, however, Eszterhas had come into his own as a star writer for Rolling Stone, specializing in tough stories about bikers and narcs while adopting the freaky style of fellow staffer Hunter S.

"We have a search committee in progress. But it's hard to say when." A shrewd guess is not until there is a new baseball labor agreement. The owners fear that a new commissioner -- no matter how limited his formal mandate -- would try to avert a spring-training lockout in 1994 as Vincent did in 1980. "The owners have decided that they get along better without a commissioner," theorizes the unrepentant Vincent. "Any commissioner...
