Umpires line up in missing-man formation for Wally Bell - USATODAY - Jake Peavy, who will pitch Game 4 for Boston, began his news conference by offering condolences to Bell's family. "Wally was a tremendous, tremendous umpire, but a tremendous person as well," Peavy said. "We're here today, I think everybody, man for man in that clubhouse, I know I speak for our guys, we're devastated by the news last night and our thoughts and prayers are with his family."
Nightengale: Gibson's magical HR resonates 25 years later - USATODAY - Vin Scully watches the man hobble to home plate, slams his eyes shut, and prays. "Please, God, don't let him strikeout,'' Scully, the Los Angeles Dodgers' legendary announcer, remembers saying. "He's had such a great year. He's led the team and worked so hard. And now that he's on the national stage, just don't let him strike out.'' Scully pauses, his 85-year-old eyes glistening, remembers the moment from 25 years ago as if it happened during lunch.
