...already pushed the World Series even deeper into October, but now MLB is really tempting fate. And it's not as if there aren't alternatives; the regular season could start earlier, or be cut back to the old 154-game schedule, to allow the playoffs to unfold in the relative warmth of early-to-mid October. "It's a foolish thing," says former umpire Dave Phillips, who worked four World Series during a 32-year major league career that ended after the 2002 season.

After a stop in Tennessee, the Slattery family took refuge in Houston, and Tommy and his father snuck back to New Orleans to salvage what they could from their home—one of the few that hadn’t been flooded. By this time, Slattery had waited too long to transfer to other schools, holding out hope that Tulane would reopen for the semester. The only schools that Slattery knew were still accepting students were Harvard and a Panhandle...
