Why Limit Super Pairings to Horses?
By Kevin Blackistone - AOL NewsTo Daniel Okrent -- whose identity as the inventor of rotisserie baseball is the one I'll use for this space -- the greatest baseball player ever was, unsurprisingly, Babe Ruth. It was Okrent's reasoning, which he conveyed in Ken Burns' epic television documentary "Baseball," that was refreshingly noteworthy.

Tears in Melbourne: Nadal Beats Federer
By Mark Hasty - AOL NewsCue the misquotation of Tom Hanks: "There's no crying in tennis!"There was crying Sunday at the Australian Open, as Rafael Nadal continued his dominance of Roger Federer, winning a five-set Everlasting Gobstopper of a final, 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-2. Federer was emotional following the match, unable to keep from crying as Nadal soaked up the crowd's acclaim.

It was a touching scene, even if Federer was seeming to steal Nadal's moment. Then again, the moment belonged to ...
