...batmen wasted no time taking advantage of Eagle gifts. Mike O'Neill gave Bruce Weller and Elliott Rivera free passes in the top of the first, and Brad Bauer moved them over with a sacrifice bunt.

In 1925 a bus carrying Kahlo was struck by a trolley car. Rescuers found the 18-year-old girl impaled on an iron rod, her pelvis smashed, a foot mangled and her spine bent to nearly a right angle. Frida endured more than 30 operations in her lifetime. None...
