Three things in life you should never get in the way of: A line-drive foul ball. A war in Central America.Jerry Ball running for a touchdown.Did I say running? He wasn’t so much running, as, well, rumbling. Like a cement truck without a brake. Ball, the nose...

New YORK — Next time I go to a tennis tournament, I’m bringing a 6-month-old baby, a barking dog, and my rather large friend, Mendel, who tends to eat a lot of Mexican food, then burp.
