• Life of Brilliant Yale Professor and Baseball Commissioner

If Angelo Bartlett Giamatti had not actually existed but rather had been a fictional character, most people would have refused to believe he was remotely real. A brilliant literary critic and teacher of Renaissance literature tenured in the departments of English and of Comparative Literature at Yale in his early 30s, Giamatti was appointed president of that university before his 40th birthday. After a stormy eight years in that office, he left academia for another presidency he had long coveted, that of baseball's National League. He topped that off by becoming Baseball Commissioner before dying suddenly of a massive heart attack at age 51. Add to this an ability to attract controversy in all the high offices he occupied and a colorful personality, and you begin to have some idea of ju...

• You Can't Make This Stuff Up

When asked if he ever bet on baseball, Pete Rose, the game's all time hit leader, reportedly said, "I'd be willing to bet you - if I were a betting man - that I never bet on baseball. In 1989, A. Bart Giamatti, the commissioner of baseball, took the bet, found Rose had bet on baseball and got him to agree to "permanent ineligibility" from the game. That meant Rose's many records would stand but he never would be in the sport's most sacred shrine, the National Baseball Hall of Fame of Cooperstown, N.Y.

• No Computer, No Problem, Ask Spots

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I need your help in acquiring the addresses of the two following individuals: Bud Selig, the commissioner of baseball, and a radio sports show host, whose name is Chris Sadatka (not sure of the spelling) on Portland station 96.3 FM. The term PM Jab is used during the show that starts at 3 p.m., but I'm not sure if that's the name of the broadcast. I do not own a computer and since Sun Spots does such a good job in solving so many problems, I thought you'd be able to answer my questions.
