Highlights

- The rivalry that Bud Selig forgot.

- Great moments in name-calling.

- Lunar charts and ballpark giveaways.

- Is Jack Clark the K-Mart of baseball players and what does this mean?

- A sprinkle of seat cushions becomes a blizzard.

- Tommy Herr sends ‘em home happy and sans posterior support.
