...good feeling when FIDEL CASTRO pulls you out of the game. The Cuban President, expanding his authoritative duties to include team manager, fiddled repeatedly with the lineup in a friendly baseball game against Venezuela last week following a summit between the two countries. Ever the prankster, Castro slowly replaced his starting team of retired players with ringers from the country's championship Pan Am Games squad. Venezuela's team was led by President Hugo Chavez, 45, a fellow revolutionary who took office in February after having spent time in prison following a failed 1992 military coup. Acting as starting pitcher...

...campus outside Sacramento, Calif., was anything but casual. Over the summer Center High School's onetime journalism teacher, baseball coach and enthusiastic gridiron announcer had changed from David Warfield to Dana Rivers--and lost her job as a result. Even the jocks were in shock. "He? She? Whatever!" said Fidel Ramos, a hefty linebacker. "They shouldn't fire her." Sophomore Kevin Owen agreed: "It's not his fault he has a disease."
