I'm looking forward to your book on the subject. And I hope it covers part of that year I remember from my childhood - 89 ? - where all these players got caught scuffing the ball and corking bats. ?

Call them often enough and they'll probably buy 50 copies. Though I'll buy a copy myself, I've already called the Portland Public Library twice (from different phone numbers), requesting the book. In the long run, the more people who are exposed to such books, the more of such books they'll buy. The downside is that libraries don't pay as much for the books as regular people and so the writer makes less on each copy the libraries buy. #47.

I say "alleged" because it might not have been an illegal substance. There was no discernible difference to my eye between Rogers's pitches before black hand and after black hand. Also, I wish somebody would tell Fox to stop with the extreme closeups. If I can see that a pitcher needs to use Crest Special Whitener toothpaste, I am much much much too close. It also gives the Fox announcers yet another way to be irritating--the way they carried on after their "discovery" it was like they had caught him whacking off in front of a mirror in the men's room. "Whoa, Tim, check that camera shot--those two nose hairs look like they're a mile apart." For an alleged infraction like that of Rogers, the World Series isn’t the place to throw him out.
