- Next summer's U.S. Senior Open at the NCR Country Club could do fans a real favor. Extend Arnold Palmer a special invitation. Palmer has already picked the 6th hole as one of his all-time favorite par 5s and is a crowd favorite everywhere. Jack Nicklaus is not going to be playing, so Palmer would be a great addition. A real chance for some golf publicity for the Miami Valley and one of America's great courses.

- Tony La Russa tried to make a big issue of where the Cardinals had to stay in Boston. What is his excuse for when they played in St. Louis? They slept in their own beds. The Yankees didn't complain about playing in Boston and we don't know where the Dodgers and the Astros stayed when they played in St. Louis.
