Tulane, lacrosse, Gagne

Now that UMass is done until September. I'm planning to update this more regularly.

Richard Justice has a fine piece on the Tulane baseball program. There have been so many well-written sports stories of people affected by Hurricane Katrina that its easy for them to run together a little bit. But there's still so many great stories to be told. Not surprisingly, Justice delivers.

John Smallwood says Philadelphia served as a great host for the continuing growth of lacrosse, whose Final Four drew almost 50,000 people on Saturday. Having been there, I agree with him. Lacrosse feels likes its on the verge of breaking through on the spectator landscape.

Bill Plaschke looks at Eric Gagne, ready to be dominant again.


Ian O’Connor compares Tiger and Barry Bonds.

Jerry Izenberg looks back at Hank Aaron.

Michael Wilbon has a good piece on Alonzo Mourning.
