Description
Contents: Ban The DH (The designated hitter has been with us for 10 years now. And that’s 10 years too many, says this impassioned plea. Save the game. Ban the DH. Now. Before it’s too late. Before the end of baseball as we know it), Save The DH (Wait, just a minute, says this rational retort. Those pitiful purists remain blind to the benefit of the designated hitter. Baseball is better because of it), The Grim Reaper Meets His Match (Ivan Lendl wins more matches and more money than anyone else in tennis. But he’s never won the U.S. Open and never come close at Wimbledon. And Wimbledon is staring him in the face again. What’s the problem?), Inciting A Patriot Rebellion (When Ron Meyer marched in as head coach of the New England Patriots, the troops rebelled. But on the battlefield, they won more than they lost. If Meyer won’t stand pat and the Pats can’t stand Meyer…well, the ’83 campaign will be a very curious war), Honor Thy Father (Most fathers wouldn’t want their sons to grow up to be boxers, but most fathers aren’t former heavyweight champions. Joe Frazier not only encourages his sons, he trains them, manages them and tucks ’em in at night. Welcome to a very strange household), Playing Cards With Whitey (More than a few baseball people will tell you that Whitey Herzog of St. Louis is the best manager in the game. Well, okay, but just what does that mean? Have a seat in the Cardinals’ dugout and find out), A Little Black Book (Managers like to keep a book on other managers. And one of them let us take a peek at his), America Makes A Run At The Mile (It’s been a long time since the U.S. held the spotlight in track’s glamour event. But now, two American milers, Steve Scott and Sydney Maree, are dueling with Britain’s fabled Coe and Ovett – and there’s an Olympic gold gleam in their eyes), Interview: Bill Walsh (Two years ago he won the Super Bowl and his name was Genius. Last year his 49ers bombed and his name was Mud. Is this man a brain or a burnout? Let him explain) Departments – Fanfare, Sport Talk, Sport Quiz, Finish Line
