The Toronto Star has fantastic coverage of the Pastime today. The best standings and box scores page, legible weekly stats, and a front-page Mark Zwolinski preview of the CBL; the new independent league "hopes it can mirror the unexpected success of several independent U.S. hockey leagues, which have entrenched themselves in local communities with aggressive marketing and consistent rosters." I hope the Sunday night TV games on The Score create stars and they sell lots of jerseys.

Allan Ryan's Off The Wall is full of the useless information that fascinates many of us. In Geoff Baker's game report, he quotes Tosca on Delgado's "new swing" -- it's obvious to me that in addition to the mechanical changes he's made, big Carlos has a new philosophy. More great stuff (the renowned Player Index and Baseball Watch) is available only on waymoresports.com, but your 50 cents will be well spent on the paper.
