Cardinals get more relief than expected

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, May 7,2004 12:49 a.m.

PHILADELPHIA -- St. Louis manager Tony La Russa expected a high-scoring game where the bullpens would get stretched thin. Instead, the Cardinals' relievers kept it under control. Hector Luna's three-run homer capped a five-run first inning and the Cardinals got three scoreless innings from five relievers for a 7-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. "It looked like it would be a 12-10 game," La Russa said. "Our bullpen had a great series. This is a tough park to pitch."

Professor of the pigskin

By Alex Hickey · Monday, May 3,2004 2:39 a.m.

Students and colleagues of African-American Studies professor John McCluskey might know of his Harvard education. But he's less likely to reveal to them a piece of information that might win a few bar bets and prove his role as a football pioneer. McCluskey, who played for Harvard from 1962-65, was the first black student to start at quarterback in the history of the Ivy League. "The Boston paper had a headline that said I was the first black quarterback (at Harvard) in 350 years," McCluskey said.
