"Two baseball executives said the Yankees made a savvy decision by not claiming Ramirez. One executive said the Red Sox undoubtedly put Ramirez on waivers to try to entice the Yankees to take his albatross of a contract, knowing the Yankees are one of the only teams that could afford him and also realizing that in Steinbrenner they have an owner who is impulsive enough to do it. Again, here is a dazzling addition to your already expensive fleet, George. Just grab the payment book as well.
Boston's attempt to goad Steinbrenner into taking one of the most devastating hitters in the major leagues and a player who grew up near Yankee Stadium was fascinating. The Yankees spent a few hours discussing the issue on Wednesday, but had decided by yesterday morning that the positives of adding Ramirez (lots of offense) did not outweigh the negatives (lots of unpredictability from a moody 31-year-old and lots of unexpected money funneling back to a chief competitor)."
Horatio's Drive : The Car | PBS: "Horatio Nelson Jackson's 1903 Winton touring car, the 'Vermont,' will be a major artifact displayed in America on the Move, a new exhibition opening at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History on November 22. The 26,000-square-foot exhibition will anchor the General Motors Hall of Transportation and will feature more than 300 other transportation artifacts — from an 1810s National Road marker to the 199-ton, 92-foot-long '1401' locomotive to a 1970s shipping container — showcased in period settings"
