I was reading the most recent issue of Sports Illustrated yesterday, which includes an article chastising Tiger Woods for not being more involved in the effort to get Augusta National Golf Club to admit a woman member.
Going over the article, I couldn’t help but think of the controversy surrounding the Hall of Fame’s decision to cancel festivities celebrating the 15th anniversary of the release of “Bull Durham.” Hall president Dale Petroskey called off the event, citing the anti-war views of stars Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, and the possibility that the two would turn the ceremonies into a platform for their opinions.
Adam Kennedy’s injury opens a roster debate in Anaheim, the Braves try to sprinkle Mazzone dust on Shane Reynolds, Geoff Jenkins mixes in his requisite five games played before his next injury, and the Devil Rays celebrate Greg Vaughn’s signing in Colorado by grabbing John Rocker.
