Thanks to the NHL bowing out of Beijing, players like Power are at the Olympics. “We kind of got notice (the Olympics) may be a possibility when the NHL announced they weren’t going,” Power said. “I don’t want to say made up (for it), but it was kind of just nice knowing that we most likely have another opportunity to come play for Canada even though world juniors was over.” (AP Photo/Paul Sancya, File) (Paul Sancya/AP)

It was Gerald Williams, not the more famous outfielder Bernie Williams, who was in center field on May 14, 1996, when Gooden tossed the no-hitter. He made a running, back-handed grab of a fly ball hit by a then young Alex Rodriguez and picked off a runner at first to keep Gooden on track for the no-no.

I’ll try not to watch watch the Beijing Olympics, which should alleviate the pressure of having to be inspired by athletes because of our shared nationality. It’s early, but so far, so good.
