This year, Hendricks experienced a rocky start on the mound. Against Texas Tech on March 6th, he was pummeled for 11 hits and 8 earned runs before being lifted in the second inning. But the right-hander rebounded to pick up a win and a save—both coming against Michigan—on the team’s second road trip, looking like the ace he expects...
DIED. TUG MCGRAW, 59, intensely competitive left-hander whose relief-pitching prowess helped the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies capture World Series championships; of brain cancer; in Nashville. A crowd favorite known for his boyish enthusiasm, he coined the Mets' battle cry "You gotta believe!" during the 1973 National League pennant race.

The main achievement of Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, a revival of Terrence McNally's sentimental two-hander starring Stanley Tucci and Edie Falco, seems to have been to break up Tucci's marriage. (The show is closed, but he and Falco, who played a nude scene together, are now tabloid fodder.) Ma Rainey's Black Bottom was the first play, and still one of the best...
