Whatever the case, something went awry that night, and Vaughn's public apology, while ambiguous, seems to admit to some wrongdoing. Yet after a quick deliberation last week, a jury of Vaughn's fans, er, peers, returned with a "not guilty" verdict, allowing Vaughn to hop the next flight to spring training and resume his place as the team's leading slugger.

Marine officials agree the plane was too low, and some wonder if it was trying to fly under the 300-ft.-high cable. The Prowler's combat mission calls for it to fly as low as 200 ft. in enemy territory, popping up only to jam or destroy enemy...
