CHERRY HILL'S FINEST: From Will Carroll's "Under the Knife" column on BaseballProspectus.com (subscription required), this gem of an anecdote:
Some baseball stories are so good that, even if they aren't true, they should be. Take this one, for example--all I can find is hearsay, but it's so good, I still have to share it. When Chan Ho Park was told he was being placed on the DL, he is said to have complained to pitching coach Orel Hershiser that he was fine. Hershiser allegedly looked at him and said: "If you were healthy, you could throw strikes."

BP.com subscriptions cost $33.95 for now through 2/29/04, and if you're a dedicated baseball fan, it's a site worth supporting.
