With all the questions that have flowed through Josh Beckett's initial season with the Red Sox -- Why all the home runs? When is he going to live up to his potential? Why did Anibal Sanchez, and not Beckett, throw the first no-hitter between the two? -- the final effort of the season from the prize trade acquisition seemed strangely ...

Jackie Robinson would have been 88 years old today. Wonder what he would have thought. No doubt he'd be honored that Major League Baseball permanently retired his No. 42 (Yankee Hall of Famer closer Mariano Rivera will be the last one to wear it).
