...only thing that Saturday's games proved was that nothing has been resolved in the Ivy League. Penn and Cornell lead the pack, but have little margin for error with Brown, Yale and Harvard all waiting to capitalize on any slip up. Virtually every game from now until season's end will be league contest, and with five teams in the running and no clear-cut favorite, the race is still wide-open...

He's a player in this long psychodrama now, as are Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams ? some great baseball names. But this isn't about them. It's about Scott, my brother-in-law and father of my niece. Scott is not from Massachusetts and until recently wasn't even much of a baseball fan. His wife, Gail, my sister, is fiercely from Massachusetts, as are my brother, my father, my mother...
