mrs. october in cooperstown

What a surprise at Cooperstown! There, in a corner of the section devoted to women and baseball, was this photo of Mrs. October in her famous cape made of World Series tickets! Then that evening I got a call from the caped woman herself, the first time we had been in touch since the World Series.

The winter meetings are now going on in Las Vegas and all we hear is how the various contract talks facing the Phillies are basically not moving along. This is getting frustrating. During last year's winter meetings, I was on assignment in Hungary and Slovakia. Wish I were back there now!
