...theater professionals across the country. Even with a troubled economy, attendance this year was up over last year. And if the selection of new plays was creatively a mixed bag, for this first-timer it was a stimulating weekend. No breakout hits (like last year's festival favorite, Gina Gionfriddo's Becky Shaw, which moved on to an acclaimed off-Broadway run), but plenty of signs of vitality, flashes of brilliance, displays of theatrical invention. The flaws and missteps are part of the experience: you want to get involved, tinker, help with the discovery process: it's theater under construction...

Promptly his life story...
...field stands for what proved to be the deciding run. Rudi made sure of that in the ninth by climbing high up the left-field wall to rob Denis Menke of a run-scoring double. The remarkable catch earned Rudi a place in World Series history next to Al Gionfriddo, who robbed Joe DiMaggio in 1947, and Willie Mays, who did the same thing to Vic Wertz in 1954. Hunter, a 21-game winner last season, threw a six-hitter to give Oakland a 2-1 victory...
