...hockey’s 110th captain hails from Maryland—he’s lived there since he was four—and back home, No. 8 belongs to Cal (Ripken, Jr.), not Carl (Yastrzemski). Babe Ruth wasn’t lost in 1919 (when Boston dealt him to the New York Yankees), but in 1914 (when Baltimore dealt him to Boston). Sundays belong to the Redskins, not the Patriots, and Maryland crabs trump Boston chowder every time...
