There was no mass tragedy as when Hurricane Audrey flooded Cameron, La., in 1957 and killed...

"We have faith that you'll shake this thing yet," read another. Wading last week through a pile of such pep-talk mail. Manager Mauch shook his head in wonder. "I once thought everybody loved a winner," he said. "But I guess they love a loser more...
