...ever believed in God or thought it was a miracle of God that I preached," says the voice-over in a new documentary film called Marjoe. "I just knew I could do it well." More's the pity. The narrator, Marjoe Gortner, has been a foot-hopping, finger-jabbing, Jesus-peddling evangelist for more than half of his 28 years, starting at the tough age of 3½. At four, the curly-coiffed, dandied-up moppet stirred up headlines and a legal ruckus by marrying a young sailor and his girl in a California wedding...
...best thing about Sergio Leone's movies is their charming and infectious childishness. So gaudy that they seem to have been splashed across the screen with finger paints, so wildly illogical and improbably elaborate that the props might have been pulled from a giant toy box and the plots from comic books, films like the early Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns or Once Upon a Time in the West exert a weird fascination.

Just as he was getting back into form this year, he broke his thumb. Cleveland's Ray Fosse broke the index finger of his right hand three years in a row, and smashed his shoulder in a collision with Cincinnati's Rose during the 1970 All-Star game. Chicago Cub Veteran Randy Hundley, who perfected the one-handed catch that Bench has adopted, was nearly retired at 28 with knee injuries...
