A liberal Pennsylvania group has set up a handy
chart to track Arlen Specter's "progressive batting average,"
a chart which will apparently indicate whether the recent convert
is "ready to knock it out of the park on progressive issues or
whether he'll strikeout when his vote really matters for
the progressive team."
Bully for these defenders of the flame. We, however, encourage
our progressive friends to keep in mind the scene in
A League of
Their Own that began with Tom Hanks asking a young lady
player, "Which team do you play for?" ended with "There's no
crying in baseball!"
