By Ryan Phillips · Thursday, Oct. 28,2004 1:41 a.m.

Nomar Garciaparra recently got a gift from his playoff-bound former teammates in Boston -- a playoff share. Even though his 10-year relationship with the team ended at this year's trade deadline, his former teammates honored his contributions to the franchise, and he will be awarded about $200,000. After all, without him, it's doubtful the Red Sox would have ever won the World Series.

Looking to Buck the trend

By Dan Click · Friday, Oct. 22,2004 2:05 a.m.

Since the inception of the IU-Ohio State Big Ten rivalry in 1901, the Buckeyes have dominated, leading the series 62-12-3. The Hoosiers will look to reverse the prevailing trend of the series when they do battle with the Buckeyes at 11 a.m. Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, at Ohio Stadium. Both IU (2-4, 0-3 Big Ten) and Ohio State (3-3, 0-3 Big Ten) come into the game struggling. The Hoosiers have lost their past four games, with their most recent defeat coming at the hands of Northwestern, 31-24. Ohio State has faced similar woes since entering conference play, dropping three straight and falling out of the top 25. This is the first time since 1999 the Buckeyes have dropped three straight. A loss to IU would take OSU back to 1943 and World War II for the last time the scarlet and gray were mired in such a skid.
