                 baseball.)

The higher the temperature,
The hotter the bats.
In ’88, long flies
Stayed in the park more often.

Your eyes may well up with tears
Watching all the perfectly-laid bunts.

The White Sox brass wince.


Who can Pop in the Clutch?
Who Leads the League in Looking?
Can we learn anything from this?
Do Hitters Spend Most of their Time
Just Standing Around?

Do Sacrifices Sacrifice Too Much?
Will the Dome Lift the Jays to the Skies?
