Wood played most of his junior career in Seattle. He was one
of the leading scorers on a mediocre team when he was traded away in
1992. He rarely lost a fight and was one of the toughest players in
the WHL.
However, I was extremely surprised when he was drafted, especially in
the third round. He certainly didn't l... | 0 |

Hi Tony.I think that I might be able to help you out!The Rangers are
here in Toronto Thursday July 8th through Sunday July 11th and

DJ was a popular player in San Diego, Derek Bell was not faring well in the
clubhouse at Toronto, so no matter how bad he looks now I still think it
was a steal for the Jays just from the perspective of team chemistry.
No statistic can describe it (sorry statheads) and since there are so many
new faces in the clubhous... | 0 |

Which doesn't mean much since the statistics are mostly based on
the 5-game playoff format. But, yes, it looks dark for the B's. What a

I believe that Phil Esposito was the first to wear #77 when he played
with the Rangers in the '70s. This was the season that they put the
Rangers crest and "modern-style" numbers on the jerseys instead of the
"NEW YORK" or "RANGERS" block letters and two-colour numbers. He took #77
because the Rangers already had a ... | 0 |

6,891 | I know, you all were saying "Ha! The Braves score a few runs for
Maddux, that'll shut that guy up."
But no, I think we'll just keep track a bit longer...
Last outing: 5 runs.
Total to date: 8 runs, 4 games
Braves record in Maddux's starts: 2-2
See ya next time.

Awesome home record or not, you need to remember the 7th game last year at the
Aud. I'd like to see some playoff games since I'm stuck in Buffalo at UB, but
I think Boston isn't giving up so easy. | 0 |

Good question. It's my impression, not backed by evidence, that general
south-of-the-borderness seems to exempt one from the hiring-firing effect
I was talking about.
Back in the 20's there were some attempts to hire black Cuban ballplayers;
they were rejected by the commissioner and others.
Well, what *did... | 0 |

Well, no. Although I admit that's more exciting than a rat killer.
