But my second game, a 14-inning thriller, excited me so much that I was convinced sluggers Mo Vaughn and John Valentin had enough magic to win every night. As for Fenway Park itself, what I remember is not even part of the ballpark, but rather the regularly contracting triangle of the CITGO sign that hovered above the green wall only half a mile away...
...lament rising ticket costs or the prominence of advertising but also accept that only an efficiently managed, shrewd business can generate revenue. As ballpark operations and the lucrative salaries are staples of the game, the thrill of witnessing a Manny Ramirez homer over the light-towers or a ninth-inning rally must sometimes strike a cool accommodation with the business side that brings the batter to home plate or the pitcher to the mound...

Harvard moved on to the NCAA Regional at Hempstead, N.Y. In Hempstead, Harvard lost a 3-2 eight-inning nail-biter against Hofstra before falling in a gut-wrenching 1-0 loss to Albany the next day to conclude its season. The two tournament losses could not overshadow one of the team’s best seasons ever. “We are really satisfied with the season...
