...PITCHING STINKS. "It's just bad pitches," says White Sox coach Jackie Brown. "A bad pitch is one in the middle of the strike zone," where the ball looks like a watermelon and the bat feels like a magic wand. In '94, entire pitching staffs are lobbing large fruit: the Minnesota Twins and Oakland A's + have earned-run averages near 6.00 -- an excellent mark for figure skaters, a pathetic one for hurlers.

Articles like this one are important to the future of any organization in order to allow its membership to see that the leaders have new and fresh ideas for the coming school year. It is for this reason, among others, that I find it important to respond quickly to the use of a quote of mine taken out of context from an interview with...
