The news? World War III is still at the number one position in the headlines. Although the news of the first full fledged hurricane (Ernesto) forming this season is making its way to the top. Is anyone ready for it? Don’t ask the people of New Orleans. They’re a little bit biased.
And here is a news story that almost didn’t make it…(another link at the top)
August 27, 2006
By Jennifer Ring, a professor of political science at the University of Nevada, Reno, is the author of "Stolen Bases: Why American Girls Don't Play Baseball," to be published next year.
“If you’re a baseball fan, you should know what took place Aug. 1-6. Eighteen American baseball players flew to Taipei, Taiwan, as the best women's team in the United States — and returned to Los Angeles as the best women's team in the world.”
You missed that?...“The Japanese media covered the tournament, held at Tienmu Baseball Stadium, that included teams from Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Cuba and the U.S. But there was no ESPN booth, no U.S. reporters, and it was difficult to find news of the games even online, which probably explains why you missed hearing about the tournament. What a shame.”
And certainly not surprising…that’s the real shame.
