J.R. House shuts it down. Joe Rutter's report.
Ollie takes it easy, Dejan Kovacevic reports.
Kovacevic also reports that Todd Ritchie won the nine-pitcher one-mile run with a time of 6:21. 6:21?? It's been a while since I ran a mile. Maybe gravity has changed since then. Or maybe they changed they way they keep time. Is that Canadian minutes? Otherwise, that's a pretty lame time for a one-mile run.
Start slow, fellas. Those aren't bad times considering that the key to winning the marathon is running each mile faster than the previous one.
Or maybe not. I'm not sure where I learned that maxim. It sounds kinda dumb this morning.
Albie Lopez looks fit and trim, Joe Rutter reports, but not so fit and trim he could beat Todd Ritchie in the mile. Maybe he wasn't in that race. Dejan Kovacevic also writes up the comeback. So does Ed Eagle. Are these guys sitting around in the bar and helping each other with their homework? I'm often curious about why much the same story appears in all the papers on the same day. Maybe Albie went out of his way to talk to those guys and give them something to report. Whatever. I've always been a fan of Albie Lopez. Hopefully we can get a good year out of him.
The New York Post profiles Rick Peterson who is, I just learned, is the son of Hardng Peterson.
And speaking of Harding Peterson, Bill Ranier and David Finoli have a new book on the 1979 Pirates coming out next month from McFarland.
