BASEBALL HAS a growing problem. Uh-huh, just like those geezers at the ballpark who keep getting up, shuffling sheepishly past other geezers, to head for the men's room.
THE FIRST ROUND of the playoffs is history. Tawdry, bumbling history, marred by shoddy umpiring, Minnesota's dumber-than-dirt baserunning and the babbling of Chip Caray on TBS.
WHEN THEY approached Susie and Brent Celek about getting involved in trying to build a Miracle Field in Northampton Township, a safe, smooth baseball surface for kids in wheelchairs, it felt like deja vu, all over again.
MUHAMMAD ALI did it. Michael Jordan did it. Twice. Ted Williams did it. Twice. Mike Tyson came apart trying. Kim Clijsters? Oh, mama! Floyd Mayweather did it impressively on the weekend, against an undersized, overmatched warrior.
STANTON, Del. - Chuck Rudd got his 15 minutes and $20 worth of fame yesterday at Delaware Park, while the cameras whirred and the flashbulbs flickered like fireflies. Got to make the very first legal parlay bet on pro football since 1976 east of the Rocky Mountains.

MATTHEW QUICK quit his coveted job at Haddonfield High, where he was teaching American literature and film as art to bright, eager kids. Floated down the Amazon, climbed Peru's legendary steps at Machu Picchu, lived in a hut in South Africa, hiked to the snow-carpeted floor of the Grand Canyon.
