If ever there were a baseball park that was improved by renaming it after some corporation, that park exists on the South Side of Chicago. To see the name of that old crook come off the park is a wonderful bit of justice delayed. The major mistake the Sox really made (of the many, many, many they habitually make) was to have built a new park several years ago, have thereby the perfect chance to get out from under the cloud of the evil Comiskey name, and blow it by naming the new park Comiskey -- well, it boggles the mind. Happily, the anonymous jerks of corporateville ride, in this case only, to the rescue.

Dear editors:

I just thought that John Domen might like to know that Lefty O'Doul is in the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame for his contributions to the that country's game.

But I do agree with him that Sadaharu Oh doesn't belong in Cooperstown even as great an MLB player Oh would have been had he gotten the chance.

Take care,
Gary Garland

To the editors of Mudville:

Now, why'd you have to write that little no war scruff in your mag? Why, it's like those boys that would come in and drape banners around the Ballpark, trying to rile things up just because the Rangers were always so lousy. Doesn't make anyone feel better, it just stirs things up. And we need to stick together in these troubled times, pretend the trouble doesn't exist.

Despite all the ruckus, which keeps me from catching Drudge as much as I'd like (glad you're just once a month), I can't wait ‘til opening day. This is one former-owner-turned-President (that's right, I'm the only one) who's looking forward to those Expos moving down here to D.C. Golly, I could throw out the first pitch! Gotta get old Karl to make sure I'm reelected—he's grumpy today; the Atkins diet is gettin' to him.

First in War!
