From the Sports DesK

Aaah baseball - even in the off season you're there to offer a momentary distraction and relief from whatever turmoil is currently swirling through my life.

Did you know Curt Schilling lists 'computer games' as his hobby?

Yes indeedy he does. Schilling - the out-spoken, hard-throwing, fiercely competitive ace pitcher - is also a geek of long standing. A wargamer so avid that he is part-owner of gaming company.

Somehow that makes him seem more - well, more like a regular joe.
