In L.A., It's Show Biz At the Old Ball Game |

No palm tree grows in Brooklyn, and somehow the one looming over the right field stands here just doesn't look right. After all, these are the Dodgers, and even if they are in the city of the angels, they'll always be the Brooklyn Dodgers to any self-respecting Yankee fan. The image of Duke Snyder dislodging a coconut with a long shot is pure surrealism.Almost as surrealistic as Linda Ronstadt singing the National Anthem at Friday's game. Forget about...

They not only knew the basics, terms like "bull" and "bear" and even a mystery called "selling short," but they knew, too, when to buy and when to sell and, more important, what to buy and what to sell. At family gatherings you would get the impression that everyone sitting around you was a...
