The Sporting Life

With the Olympics having ended some of you may be starved for sporting trivia and perhaps this will help fill the void:
- The Chicago White Sox current owners, a mortgage lender, is renaming their ball park "Guaranteed Rate Field" and their logo to appear all over the field is a red arrow pointing downward which is hardly a good omen. Anyway, it looks like the Cubs year.
-The PGA golfers are preparing for a Ryder Cup year. The New York Stock Exchange often invites celebrities to open the market and last Monday a prominent golfer rang the opening bell and accidentally broke the gavel. It appeared that his caddie had over clubbed him. Again, hardly a good omen.!
-Tomorrow, Saturday, they are running the Travers Stakes at Saratoga which celebrates the end of season at that lovely oval. Should be a good contest to crown the three year old champion of 2016. After which the town's prices will return to normal.
