For instance, the Del Webb Corp., based in Phoenix, Ariz., a developer of eight upscale retirement complexes, most in warmer climates, opened a community in Huntley, Ill., in 1998.

The scintillating Schilling, pitching on only three days? rest, served the Yanks his Phoenix early-bird special: large portions of unhittable pitches. But with the D-Backs up 3-1 in the middle of the 8th, manager Bob Brenly made what soon became a historic decision. He lifted Schilling so he would have something left for a possible Game 7. Maybe Brenly had a premonition. In came Byung-Kyun Kim, a 22-year-old submarine-style reliever with a kimchee-hot fastball. Kim whiffed three straight Yanks...
