I was in Chicago back in the '60s and South Siders had a pitcher named Peters.  He was taken out of the game late and a reliever came in and saved the game.  One of the Chicago papers the next day ran the headline: "Sox win with Peters out."  Most have been something in the air in the '60s.  No way either paper didn't know the double entendre in these headlines.   The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

I do love the frisch's big boy and the Campus Sundry reference - worked at the Sundry for a couple years. It's gone now, I'm told. Go Bobcats!

I am confused why the writer or editor or stylebook insists on using the word "redshirt" to describe academic class. I'm not sure there is value in the reader processing what a redshirt is in the context of the story. I'd go so far as to argue that specifying academic class on first reference is extra verbiage that obscures the story the writer tries to tell. In today's article about "Gang Green", there is no first-reference specification of academic class, and I'm not going to spend any time looking for a first-reference specification of a fifth-year senior. In the picture captions, none of the hockey fans are identified by academic class, but the basketball fan is. I find it inconsistent, and would urge The Post to work toward a common style. Also, a quote from a second-year freshman someday would be spectacular. The kid's parents would be so proud.
