Prompted by the announced move of the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore, two Ohio lawmakers said today they would introduce legislation to make it more difficult for teams to move. The "Fans Rights Act," to be sponsored by Rep. Martin Hoke (R-Ohio) and Sen. John Glenn (D-Ohio), would require teams intending to relocate to give 180 days notice to the host community, and also provide an antitrust exemption to shield other professional sports leagues from lawsuits if they decide to block a relocation. The Browns move, which is scheduled to take place next year, has left the city...
Take a walk through the Hall of Fame gallery, where the elect are commemorated with an all-American mixture of hoke and majesty. Guys try explaining to their wives some athletic epiphany in the career of a stranger. One swing of a bat, one sliding catch, a third strike from a half-century past can mist an old man's eyes.

Baldwin plays Junior with a goofy grin and the scheming intensity of a small mind spinning its wheels and getting nowhere. Ward finds Hoke's integrity down at his heels. And Leigh, a gifted chameleon who deserves stardom, can wring pathos just by reading a recipe for vinegar pie or walking up the path to a house she will never own. Handsomely made, wonderfully acted, Miami Blues is the kind of picture Hollywood ought...
