Love the Risk

By Chris Haffenreffer | August 2, 2001

The game of baseball has been repeatedly berated by yours truly for the various problems that allow a team such as the New York Yankees to effectively buy championships.

Quick Hits

By Joe Gault | July 31, 2001

A couple weeks ago, Fred McGriff vetoed a trade from the last-place Tampa Bay Devil Rays to the first-place Chicago Cubs before reversing his decision last week.

Our National Game?

By Mike P. Hamilton | July 25, 2001

The task at hand, the thing that keeps popping into my head, is the state of baseball today. This should be a summer for the baseball fan to revel in. We have Barry Bonds on pace to obliterate Mark McGwire's single-season homerun record.

Crew wins big at Thames race

By From Staff & Wire Reports | July 17, 2001

In a stunning and unexpected victory, Dartmouth's heavyweight men's crew team won Sunday's Ladies' Challenge Plate at the Henley Royal Regatta at Henley-on-Thames, England. Henley has been described as one of the world's most highly respected races. Although Princeton University -- the reigning Eastern Sprint champion -- was the heavy favorite in Sunday's race, the Dartmouth heavyweight team pulled ahead in the final 10-15 strokes, winning by a mere fraction of a boat-length. Princeton had held the lead at the beginning of the race, pulling to an intimidating lead. "It was an incredible race and a great win," Dick Grossman, Dartmouth men's crew team coach, said last week.

A Challenge

By Mike P. Hamilton | July 13, 2001

About a month ago on Commencement Weekend, I was eating at Murphy's with a few of my '01 friends when one of us noted a picture hanging on the wall of three Boston sports legends autographed by each of them.

Pin Prick

By Adam Small | July 11, 2001

This sucks. No doubts about it, no questions asked, this plain, old sucks. The Boston Red Sox, who have led the AL East for six weeks and have been one of the five best teams in the American League the entire season, will have only one, count 'em one, representative at the 2001 All-Star Game in Seattle. "How could such a thing happen?" a reasonably intelligent person might ask.

Fearless Predictions

By Joe Gault | July 5, 2001

Making sense of the 2001 Major League Baseball season is somewhat like reading "A Clockwork Orange." At first, you just don't get it, it's not written in English.

Area waters offer summer fun

By Chris Haffenreffer | July 5, 2001

As the summer means a quiet time on Dartmouth's social scene, many students are forced to look for more creative and original ways of entertaining themselves. Many students have gravitated westward to the Connecticut River in an attempt to enjoy themselves.

Popular swing returns

By Jeremy Skog | June 25, 2001

A winding forest trail begins at the corner of Downing Road and Maple Street. For students adventurous enough to walk through residential Hanover and a quarter mile to the slow-moving Connecticut River, a recently restored piece of local history awaits -- the famous rope swing has been restored. Five wooden steps lead up the side of a heavily angled tree where the jumper first grasps the new rope and then clutches it as he swings over the water.

An End of an Era

By Michael P. Hamilton | June 21, 2001

Today there is no joy in Mudville. The entire community of baseball fans, diehards and casual fans alike, has learned it will soon be losing the epitome of the durable, gritty and, above all, reliable ballplayer. Yes, that is right folks, baseball's Iron Man, Cal Ripken, Jr., will be hanging up his spikes at the end of this season. You may remember Ripken as the man who broke Lou Gehrig's seemingly unbreakable record of 2,130 consecutive games in 1995.

Studs of the Year

By Janos Marton | May 30, 2001

It's that time of year -- blessed with the opportunity to write The Dartmouth's last sports column of 2000-2001, I will take the time to address the true studs who made this another incredible year in sports.

Dirt Cowboys

It's time for the sea of red, the sliding, the dirt and the slow-ass moonballers. Once again it is time for the French Open in tennis.

Crazy Eights

By Dan Kay | May 25, 2001

This year has been a reasonably mediocre one in the world of sports. No one seems too excited about the NHL or NBA playoffs; and to be honest sometimes I even forgot that they were still going.
