Phantom phenom Jim Harrell, who pitched his way to a 3-0 record and a 1.16 ERA in 31 innings on the road, made his home debut yesterday against Army at Soldiers Field. Unfortunately the handful of fans on tap to witness the unveiling of Loyal Park's newest secret weapon were sorely disappointed...

In turn, Tenor Jon Vickers, who is the best Tristan in the world right now, began to have second thoughts about making his Met debut in the role. Conductor Erich Leinsdorf apparently caught the pouts from him and nearly quit as well...
