86 years, A World Series Win and... No Ball
Doug Mientkiewicz (meent-kay-vitch) was the defensive replacement first baseman who caught the ball for the final out of the 2004 World Series. he kept the ball as a souvenir. Now the Red Sox want it back. The situation is a little cloudier than simply, "it's our team you were on, give us the ball." You see, Doug Mientkiewicz played for only the last 3 months for the Red Sox and was stiffed out of playing as a regular; and he is now on the trading block. He might not feel well-disposed towards the Red Sox brass who have a nasty habit of making tense situations into full-blown exchanges of hostility.
It's a laugh.
It couldn't have happened to a better team. :)

Meanwhile, Randy Is Coming To New York, Carlos Beltran May not
After many months of trying, the Yankees finally got their man. Is this good? Yes. The question now is: why aren't they going for Carlos Beltran? It is only now that we're finding out that the Yankees had a limit after all. Yowza. Who'd a' thunk it?
