There are other cheap, casual eateries, and many offer local specialties. Among the city's claims to culinary distinction are cheese steaks -- grilled beef slices with cheese topping and fried onions on an Italian roll.

"On the entire 25-man roster," he said, "the Red Sox have one black and one Latin, and I'm the one." Someone mentioned Jim Rice. "Disabled list," said Perez. "Mike Torrez?" That made him sigh.
