"Lee Sinins' Complete Encyclopedia is best reason yet developed to own a computer. I think I must own a copy of every baseball encyclopedia there is or ever was, and occasionally I find that I still need to pull out one of the others, but not very often; the Complete Encyclopedia covers 97% of my needs. Whether I'm working or playing, calculating or daydreaming, the Complete Encyclopedia pops up to help out. I turn it on in the morning; I turn it off when the house is on fire. Otherwise, I'm using it."--Bill James

3) On Tuesday, the Devil Rays claimed P Bobby Livingston off waivers from the Mariners and sold him to the Phillies. The waiver claim and sale was voided and Livingston was awarded, on waivers, to the Reds. It is against MLB rules for any team to "solicit another Club, directly or indirectly, to claim or not claim a player on waivers ... nor shall a Club otherwise act in concert with any Club or Clubs in the operation of the waiver system."
