Gary Carter was among the best catchers in Major League Baseball history, but, for me, he'll always be the man that took the time to respond to my Bar Mitzvah invitation.

The Bottom of the Eleventh: Game 6 In the bottom of the eleventh in old St. Louis city... Did you partake of the feast of heroism, comedy, insanity?...

In one of the greatest games in World Series history, St. Louis stays alive. OK, "greatest" is a relative term. When Major League teams commit five errors in one game it's fair to say they didn't play great.

There's lots of chatter going around that Peyton Manning is the NFL MVP. He hasn't played a game all season. Hey, the Colts are 0-7 without him. Who is more valuable than he?

Time flies. Seven years ago tonight I was at the old Yankee Stadium when the Red Sox finally did it, they vanquished the Yankees after trailing three games to none.

I think the problem is that fear and greed and star addiction have in common is that they are all adrenaline driven.

What do these constitutional connections portend for the World Series? Not much for the outcome on the field, but everything for the teams' future lineups and financial fortunes.

St. Louis had the 11th highest payroll in Major League Baseball, the Texas Rangers had the 13th. They're both heading to the World Series.

The NBA has canceled the first two weeks of the season, and before you know it, the entire season may blow up. The unemployment rolls just got larger.
