In my inbox…
Saturday, July 28th, 2007A reader wrote me of a CT CR named Jenielle Alonso. The reader had this to say:

Culture Shock
Friday, July 27th, 2007It took me a week to figure out that “Barry Burn” was a reference to hazards at the 17th and 18th holes of the British Open and not to a medical condition suffered by MLB Commissioner Bud Selig as a result of the Bonds home run chase.
Speaking of home runs, Sports Illustrated’s John Donovan had […]
