...Toledo has a chance to see the Mud Hens for free," says Cook, who has raised attendance since joining the Mud Hens to a current average of about 3000 per game. One popular attraction offered often at the park is; Quarter-a-Beer night. Instead of causing inebriated havoc like such nights have preserved major league parks in the past, the nights are always a big success at Lucas County Stadium. "We got a policy--we try to let them all have a good time. If it ever gets to be a problem, we just ask them to leave," Cook...

By 1 a.m., thanks to courageous work by the young Nimitz seamen, the fires were quelled, and the first of 13 corpses picked from the smoldering havoc; the 14th body was never found. With 48 men in sick bay, the casualties exceeded the capacities of the medical facilities. Medevac helicopters arrived at 4:30 a.m. and minutes later took off for Jacksonville with the 21 most seriously wounded crewmen. Then the reckoning of hardware destruction began: the incinerated Prowler...
