Seven of the ex-Politburo...
...into its first three-month season, fielding eight Florida teams of ex-major leaguers 35 or older (catchers may be 32). Most of the superstars are missing: Reggie Jackson is occupied with his classic autos, Jim Palmer with his underwear, Pete Rose with hawking his tarnished name.
