Smale has emerged as a possible Stempel successor and the real power inside the embattled company...
...Braves -- last year's Cinderella, this year's proud prince -- are spending the World Series with the Toronto Blue Jays. Canada's best team shook off its decade-long notoriety as a talented squad with no guts by playing a six-game swan song for the once dynastic Oakland A's.
