Raging through the Pages of the Web 2004-07-29 Special day: Maddux may be aiming at 300 wins Sunday, but Cubs catcher Paul Bako is closing in on playing in 500 games. He's expected behind the plate on Sunday, which will be career game No. 497.
The day, however, is far more special for Maddux.
"I think everybody on the ballclub, when he does it -- hopefully Sunday -- I think everybody will consider it a special day," Bako said. "Obviously, it's Greg's day and it's years and years of hard work and a lot of talent and success culminating. But I think everybody on the club is looking forward to it. Even the fans in the city of Chicago will make it a big day, especially if we can do it at home."

(Charles Tillman) It's all business
When Bears second-year cornerback Charles Tillman heard that first-round draft pick Tommie Harris was a likely holdout, he wasn't about to urge the rookie to get into camp.
Last year Tillman missed the start of camp as a second-round holdout, so he's understanding of the process.
"It's business," Tillman said. "He's got to take care of his business. I had to take care of my business, whether you're here on time or not.
"Try to get it done as quick as possible, but at the same time get something out of it that's going to be good for you."
It's often said by coaches that players miss to much by holding out.
"In my case, last year when I got here late I didn't miss too much and so I was OK," said Tillman, who missed the first two days.

Mickey Mantle may no longer be among the living, but as one of the greatest baseball players of all time, his legacy on cardboard lives on in the hearts of millions of sports memorabilia collectors and baseball fans.
A dream of a lifetime was achieved when Chris LeBlanc walked into his local Wal-Mart store and purchased one of the top-selling sports card products in the industry, a TRISTAR Hidden Treasures Graded Baseball Card. Inside, he found a redemption certificate for one of the product´s Grand Treasures: a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle valued at $18,000.
"I still can´t believe that I got a Mantle card. I walked into Wal-Mart to get a few things for my son," said LeBlanc, 25, owner of Precision Flooring. "I had a little extra cash and ended up getting two packs of Hidden Treasures. My girlfriend thought she was going to have to call an ambulance when she saw my face after I opened the pack that said I´d won the Mantle card."
LeBlanc will be presented with the Mantle card in a special event to take place inside the Wal-Mart store where he purchased his treasure 12:30 p.m. today.
Former New York Yankees pitcher Ron Guidry, known as "Louisiana Lightning" will take part in the special presentation.

Regardless, Walker's absence didn't cause the loss. Reliever Scott Dohmann, a stand-up kid from Louisiana, pointed the finger at himself.
In a game of 307 pitches, Dohmann paid a heavy price for a single sloppy slider to Los Angeles' David Ross. With the Rockies protecting a one-run lead, the catcher deposited a two-run homer into the left-field bleachers. The pitch illustrated baseball's evil desire to humble anyone who plays the game.
Before Thursday, Dohmann had strung together 15 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings, the most by a Rockies pitcher this season.
"It was one bad pitch," Dohmann said. "I don't care about any personal streaks. I am upset because I cost our team a win."

Human Interest from the ARCHIVES of the WEB The Guide to Southwestern Louisiana, (the area)
Four years ago, the Chronicle attempted its first guide to Southwestern Louisiana. The concept was simple: Many people drive to New Orleans for Jazz Fest and Mardi Gras, and few realize what wonderfully diverse and culturally rich country they drive through on the way. Having explored this area individually and in groups through vacations and weekend trips, we wanted to share our discoveries and good times with everyone, and were pleased to see even the local daily follow our recommendations in their recent sojourn there.
This guide began with Ed Ward, who was teaching a cooking class when he still lived here some years back. Ward decided it wasn't enough to get ingredients locally -- they should come from the source... crawfish from Lake Charles, boudin from Jennings, garlic sausage from Eunice. Somehow, the results just tasted better for having made the trip. This concurred with something that Louis Black, Nick Barbaro, and I had known but hadn't admitted: that while we talked a lot about Louisiana music, we were really dreaming about Louisiana food.
Ward's culinary excursions resulted in a three-page handout for his cooking class, in which the other cultural aspects were almost an afterthought: As long as you're there buying sausage, etc., why not stay over and go to Fred's or Slim's? Why not, indeed. We started making regular trips back and forth, each time discovering new places to go and more things to do, and sharing the knowledge with each other. We were inspired by Ward's guide, agreeing with some of it, disagreeing with parts, and adding our own favorites. Most of these stops are within an hour's drive off Interstate 10.
In his original introduction, Louis Black cautioned readers to consider this "an arbitrary listing of food, music, and places of interest on the road between the Texas border and the Atchafalaya," and he couldn't be more right. We hope you'll find the same charm and pleasure in puzzling over this arbitrary guide as we got in stumbling upon and returning to these wonderful jigsaw bits of Louisiana.

Reunion brings back 19 members of Series team
Fans the world over have marveled at Mays' incredible over-the-shoulder catch, but his world champion teammates have always been just as impressed.
"It was an impossible play," said Alvin Dark, who hit .412 in the Series. " (UL 43-44) I had no idea he could catch the ball. I didn't think anyone could catch that ball."

The '54 Giants were introduced, one by one, during a pregame ceremony, and they walked from the third-base dugout to their seats on the infield. The old players gave a standing ovation to just one teammate, Mays.
"Greatest baseball player I've ever seen," said Alvin Dark the shortstop in '54. "The best all-around player. The greatest."
Mays stepped to the podium for a few words.
"This team here is responsible for me learning how to play baseball," Mays told the crowd. "I could do everything, but I learned the art of the game from these guys in 1954."

Maddux attempts win No. 300 today against Phillies
There will be a Marlins connection as well. Ex-Marlin Paul Bako has been Maddux's personal catcher this year, just as he was during their brief time together in Atlanta.
"Greg is real nonchalant about 300," Bako said. "He's always thinking about the team first. That will be a huge milestone. It will be nice for him. I think he's looking forward to putting it behind him and taking care of the rest of the season."
The rest of the story
For three of the last five seasons, Maddux has had a co-conspirator in Paul Bako. The 32-year-old catcher, a seven-year veteran with a .239 career average, will be behind the plate when Maddux faces the Phillies on Sunday.
They have meshed well since their days together in Atlanta, when Maddux developed an aversion to having Javy Lopez call his games. He's never criticized Lopez, he's too professional for that, but was drawn to catchers who studied hitters as intently as he did -- the likes of Charlie O'Brien, Eddie Perez, Henry Blanco and Bako.
Dusty Baker has had Bako catch 20 of Maddux's 21 starts this season. "Bako has caught him before and I have to play Bako sometime to rest Michael Barrett,'' Baker said. "This is the perfect situation to do that and get Bako some at-bats. And it gives Greg a certain confidence and comfort level."

Munson was more than just a good hitter. He won the Gold Glove in 1974 and '75 and was a member of The Sporting News' AL All-Star fielding team from 1973-75. And he could call a great game. Yankees ace left-hander Ron Guidry said years later that Munson deserved half the credit for Guidry's Cy Young Award season of 1978 (25-3, 1.74 ERA, nine shutouts) - which was one of the most dominant in baseball history.
"I went the whole year never shaking him off one time," Guidry said. "He always knew exactly when to say something and when to shut up. I don't remember him ever chewing teammates out and pointing fingers during a slump. He'd just say, "We're not playing as a team - we're better than this.'"

Chase Lambin and Josh Pressley, starters for most of the season, aren't griping over their diminished playing time with the acquisition of second baseman Jeff Keppinger from the Pirates and the call-up of first baseman Brett Harper from Single-A St. Lucie.
