Turn off Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto or Bill White or Bob Gamere (yes, Bob Gamere) in disgust and open the Baseball Encyclopedia, wallow in history, thrill to past glories. Pull out the Strat-O-Matic Baseball game, play the Old Timers teams: '27 Yankees, or '41 Yankees, or '50 Yankees, or '61 Yankees--dice-rolled greatness. "Babe Ruth comes to the plate, the Bambino, with sixty-count 'em-sixty circuit clouts this year, Lou Gehrig on deck. The Yanks winning this ballgame 12-1, winning, winning...
