From Morning Briefing by Larry Stewart in the Los Angeles Times —
Dodger center fielder Steve Finley gave two cases of golf balls, each containing 144 balls, to Manager Jim Tracy, who is not exactly a scratch golfer.
Bench coach Jim Riggleman, noticing the two cases in Tracy’s office, put notes on both. The note on one box read, “Front nine.” The note on the other read, “Back nine.”
