Hi. Here's some more articles from back in October. First, an article about the Cardinals beating the Mets in game 7 of the NLCS. Here's a quote about how Cardinals closer Adam Wainwright got out of a jam in the 9th inning to save the game:
"I have no idea how I got out of there," Wainwright said. "I don't even remember it. I'm just glad I got them. My mind was racing. I just didn't want to let the team down.
"I never get nervous, but I was pretty nervous. My legs were like jelly. I had to step off the mound to ask God for some strength. I needed it."
Here's the article: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article_perspectives.jsp?ymd=20061020&content_id=1718691&vkey=perspectives&fext=.jsp.
Here's an article about Red Sox relief pitcher Mike Timlin and his re-signing with the team. Here's a couple of quotes:
However, Timlin has never been driven by money. This represents the third time in his tenure with the Red Sox that he has bypassed the free agency process and simply re-upped with Boston. Timlin again represented himself in the negotiations....
Timlin has been considered the spiritual leader of the Boston bullpen since his arrival in 2003.

Next, a great article that is an excerpt from a book about Ole Miss football player Michael Oher and the family that changed his life: http://www.rd.com/content/openContent.do?contentId=30250. A couple of things that go with the article, the bio of Grizzlies radio broadcaster Sean Tuhoy: http://www.nba.com/grizzlies/about/broadcast_team-0506.html#tuohy, and Oher's bio on the Ole Miss website (note at bottom of page: PERSONAL: Son of Denise Oher and Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy): http://www.olemisssports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=12787&SPID=737&DB_OEM_ID=2600&ATCLID=542695&Q_SEASON=2006.
Lastly, an article about the Mets Carlos Delgado winning the Roberto Clemente Award, which is given to the player who best exemplified sportsmanship, community involvement, and contribution to his team: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20061024&content_id=1722344&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb.
