Best-ever opening sentence by a baseball writer

Sports | Commissioner feeling the heat in soggy, frigid Philadelphia - with good reason

Al Gore is full of crap. The predictor of global-warming doom and gloom is way off base, at least in late October in frigid eastern Pennsylvania. Consider that when Major League Baseball called off its first makeup date of the suspended Game 5 early yesterday, the weather conditions were far worse than they had been Monday. Rescheduled again for tonight at 8, the forecast is also bad.

A cold rain continued all day yesterday with up to 30 centimetres of snow reported in an outlying area. The temperature at the ballpark by the scheduled game time was around 2C, with a wind chill far below zero.
