Portland hearts Dave Littlefield

No kidding!

The ability to handle ticklish situations, to confront problems as they arise, and to maintain dignity for all involved are qualities that have served Littlefield well as he climbed baseball's ladder from Portland Little Leaguer to minor-league catcher to major-league executive.

Throw in a sharp mind, keen judge of talent and fierce competitive streak (often hidden behind a self-effacing manner) and you begin to understand why Littlefield, who turns 45 next week, holds one of the most prestigious jobs in professional baseball.

Happy Birthday, Dave.
