Melba Pearce, a 63-year-old basketball junkie from Bartlett who claims to have been a bracketologist "before anyone even knew what that was," sniffed out a rack of baseball hats at Love's Travel Stop off Interstate-40 in Galloway, Ark., one recent weekday morning. She proceeded to grab all the Tennessee ones she could find. And with a quick, surreptitious glance toward the front of the store, she stuffed them behind a bunch of less offensive caps on the bottom shelf. According to her friends, many of whom had joined her before dawn at a parking lot near the University of Memphis, Pearce plays this game of hide-and-seek at random truck stops in the Mid-South and at many regional sporting goods stores. She has buried Tennessee hats on the way to New Orleans and Louisville, Cincinnati and ...
The Aroostook County farm fields the morning after a downpour have a far-away, ancient quality. The fields set on rolling hilltops are hugged by dense, low- lying clouds, while views stretch wide in every direction.
Perhaps the flight attendants on the Dodgers' charter home from Denver on Sunday night could take a lesson from Eric Gagne on how to close. Approximately seven minutes into what manager Jim Tracy described as the loudest flight he had ever been on, the source of the rock- concert-like din was located. The door had not sealed properly, allowing outside air to stream into the fuselage and preventing the cabin from pressurizing.
News and Notes All about youth: Jerry Thompson, store manager at the Sportsman's Warehouse in Southaven, reports that the store's Outdoor Adventure Team, which recently capped a summer of activities, was a huge success. "This was the third year we hosted kids from the surrounding counties and taught them about different aspects of the outdoors," Thompson said. "We had almost 300 kids ages 6-14 participate this year." Among the activities the young sportsmen took part in were boating and water safety, trekking, archery, paintball, firearms safety, fishing, camo and hunting. "The kids really enjoyed all of the seminars and learned a lot about the outdoors," Thompson said. "The parents even commented about learning new things." Thompson said the purpose of store's Outdoor Adventure Team wa...
When Steve Walton was diagnosed with diabetes about five years ago, his doctor told him he'd live a long life if he took care of himself. The doctor also encouraged him to make a list of 50 things he wanted to do in life, and then go do them.
-- Infielder Brandon Wood, picked up off waivers Friday, made his Pirates debut last night playing third base. "It's a new adventure, new team, new clubhouse, everything's new, so I'm happy to just get out there and play," Wood said before the game. Manager Clint Hurdle's advice to Wood was to not go out of his way to make a good first impression, and to try to go out and play like he's in the backyard. "If I hit three home runs or have four strikeouts, it doesn't show my worth on the team," Wood said. "It's just one baseball game, and that's the way I have to treat it. -- One reason for putting Wood in the game at third base instead of shortstop was Pedro Alvarez's .214 batting average against left- handers (3 for 14).
