Leading Off

Pitcher Perfect
The last delivery that the Yankees' David Wells threw to the last Twins batter he faced, Pat Meares, resulted in the fly-out that sealed Wells's unblemished performance (page 52).

Lean, Mean Leapin' Machine
This contestant in the 70th annual Jumping Frog Jubilee in Calaveras County, Calif., took off as if it had just seen a French chef. Still, it lost to a critter named Pretty Lady that leaped 19'4".

Head Case
The Blues' Scott Pellerin ended up on his noggin after colliding with the Red Wings' Martin Lapointe (20) during one of the three wins that gave Detroit the edge in the teams' Western Conference semifinal series (page 74).
