    Andrea, who did the interview, is known for her neurotic preparation and research. (Neurotic is her description). It will be interesting to see if she asks Sheffield about all the other times he's accused teams and people of racist behavior. Or maybe Gumbel addresses it in his post-interview chat.
    And Bob Gibson finds Sheffield's comments so ludicrous, he's all but hanging up on reporters who call him for comment. Many have tried.

    Terrible job by Andrea Kramer. So much for her famous preparation. Why didn't she press Sheff about who the other players were ? Why didn't she ask him what Uncle Dwight thought about Joe.

    Sheff is an idiot.

    Joe Torre isn't a racist. He's a very kind guy who may treat guys differently. I don't like the idea of people lining up his "black" friends to say nice things about him. That's wrong.
    Shef is not an idiot. He has a a new book coming out, this will generate sales.

    This story about the little boy with the perfect golf swing -- and retinal cancer -- has made me grin, say "Jesus" to myself in awe of his abilities, cry and shake my head in amazement.
