Great Moments in Sports History A number of folks have e-mailed me to point out that Larry Summers will be throwing out the first ball at the Yankees-Red Sox game tonight...and that he's been getting pitching tips from the Harvard baseball coach.

Okay, this one is too easy.

And because it is too easy, I am not going to have the obvious fun with it. Because if I were throwing out the first ball at a baseball game, I'd probably throw the damn thing into the crowd on the first-base side.

But does anyone else remember the milk-drinking scene from one of my favorite films, "My Life As a Dog"?

I'm going out tonight, so this makes me particularly glad for my new DVR....  ¶ 10:00 AM
