Just My Type

TW: Probably the one I just had, with all the things I had to endure.

DP: Best golfer in the world today?

TW: Probably either Phil [Mickelson] or Paddy [Harrington]. Paddy's just won two majors but hasn't had the number of high finishes that Phil has had over a longer period.

DP: Can I circle a date when you're coming back?

TW: I wish I knew.

Nine the Hard Way

ANYONE WHO PLAYED baseball as a kid remembers going up against a pitcher who made your knees knock. It's a great memory, isn't it? The kids in New Haven, Conn., will never know. Officials there ruled that then nine-year-old Jericho Scott couldn't pitch Little League because he throws too hard (40 mph). When Scott's team refused to change his position, the league disbanded the team. Then lawyers were called in, and the story became everything it shouldn't be. I asked the N.Y. Rangers' Chris Drury—he was the winning pitcher in the 1989 Little League World Series—about it, and he said the reaction should have been, "Grab a bat and see if you can hit this kid. That's what sports is all about."
