Transformation. For all that, the Mets have never faced an outfit as tough as the Orioles. Man for man, the Birds are probably the finest baseball team since the New York Yankee juggernauts of the '50s. In their playoff series with Minnesota, they broke the Twins' spirit by taking two extra-inning contests, 4-3 and 1-0, then belted 18 hits as they rolled through the final game 11-2 for a swift playoff sweep.

Last week at the New York City Opera, it was Beverly Sills' turn. She had a bad cold. Charles Wilson's conducting only occasionally rose to something that resembled authority. Nothing seemed able to shock Tenor Michele Molese and Baritone Dominic Cossa into dramatic vitality. Nevertheless, under the direction of Tito Capobianca, the whole production drew a mounting, cohesive strength from Sills...
