DerekSanderson was made in Canada. The biopic on his life will be too. Bruinsdevotees of this most improper Bostonian are none too pleased with theannouncement. The filmmakers weren’t keen on Beantown location costs. “Bostonwas too expensive for this independent production,”
The most revolutionary figure in modern pitching died yesterday. His name wasn’t Randy Johnson, Bob Gibson, or Pedro Martinez. Fans never chanted his name. His visage appears neither on a baseball card nor on a Cooperstown plaque. In fact, Dr.
Vitali Klitschko thought he knew corruption from boxing. Wooed by Don King, the Klitschko brothers were wowed when they heard the fight promoter gracefully play parts of Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” on his piano. King’s worldliness especially captivated Vitali, a PhD
