...obvious, enlightened move that the Sox should try to make, but one which no one is mentioning at the moment, would be to reacquire Don Baylor. The former Sox DH, whose fine career is now winding down in Oakland, was widely credited for bringing badly-needed leadership to the '86 Sox team that went to the Series. Picked up by the Twins last summer for their stretch drive, Baylor performed well and had a few clutch hits in the World Series...

However, this year, Baylor may be the missing ingredient which the Sox, if they truly want to win a division title, should go after.

Short Eyes and Valdez's Zoot Suit, Povod's explosive play made the move to Broadway. The script was helped by the casting of Robert De Niro in his first New York stage role in 16 years. Its central character, like the author, was a bright and literate kid who turned to drugs just because they were so pervasive in his environment. Povod, 28, admits that he was addicted...
