Back then, baseball was hurting as it tried to lure back fans after the strike, and the Sosa-McGwire home run chase recaptured some of the magic of America’s national pastime. Fast forward to this postseason, and there’s a match-up waiting in the wings even more captivating than the Chase for Maris.

Clean up Carnivale, and you'd have something not unlike ABC's spooky Miracles from last season. Carnivale's myth and Manichaeism may lure viewers inside the tent, but weirdness is merely a dime-store novelty. Capturing the ambiguities of life and of people is still the most elusive magic...
