In two weeks, we won't remember who got hosed.

I've been a Yankee fan all my life. Despite that, the park I haven't seen that I most wish to see is Fenway Park, and it has been ever since I crossed Wrigley Field off my list on a sunny day in July, 1993.

It's 1:11 a.m. EDT, and I'm writing from the Park Plaza hotel in Boston, where the Society for American Baseball Research is holding its 32nd convention. There will be presentations, panels, Q&As, awards, a trip to Fenway Park, and all the humidity humans can stand. Maybe more.
But mostly, there will be 600-odd baseball fans hanging out and talking about the greatest game in the world. Even as I type this, the hotel bar is loaded with baseball lovers of all shapes and sizes, including a bunch of BP staffers�no one works a bar like Chris Kahrl�and some of the best baseball researchers on the planet.

Four months ago, the Minnesota Twins were headed for extinction, told they couldn't compete in today's game, that they were a drag on the baseball industry.
Today, the Minnesota Twins have the largest lead of any first-place team, seven games ahead of the Chicago White Sox, and are one of the best stories MLB has to offer.

I was sitting in a restaurant with my wife Saturday afternoon when my cell phone jumped to life. Jonah Keri's words�"Darryl Kile is dead."�rang just as false as those boys' words had on that August afternoon 23 years ago. Yet, it was true, it had to be true, because while children may joke about such things, adults know better.

What in the world is Jerry Manuel doing?
From 1999 through 2001, Keith Foulke was the best reliever in baseball, with a 2.49 ERA in 274 1/3 innings. He led all relievers in Michael Wolverton's Adjusted Runs Prevented in that time, and was an integral part of the White Sox' AL Central title in 2000.

This morning, I read an interview with owners' representative Bud Selig. The interview, conducted by The Sporting News' Dave Kindred, was disappointing because it covered exactly zero new ground. Selig merely referenced all his standard talking points, and was at no time challenged on his positions about the economic and competitive state of the game.

It's all about veteran leadership.
I thought I might be able to put a cap on the DiSar Awards for this year, but I can't. Not yet. Not with one of the all-time great hackers finding his way into the lineup�despite a 390 OPS�and keeping the heat on the leaders in the clubhouse.
