If, as Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine so eloquently put it over a decade ago, chicks dig the long ball, then the Penn baseball team will be going stag this spring. The Quakers have struggled in the power department, making runs hard to come by despite several players batting well over .

Philadelphia has one last chance to get it right. Last week, the South Street Bridge Coalition proposed a set of architectural changes to the City's current design for the new South Street Bridge. Officials are preparing to rebuild the decrepit, 85-year-old structure beginning this summer.
