Apropos of my question in the previous update about New York, the answer is starting to head into negative territory as they come back to the pack without much of a fight. While Indy maintains a healthy break in the East, the sight of Carolina looming in their rear-vision mirror would be a most unwelcome one. A big finish portends. Ted Williams is having a big run toward the NE Triple Crown. He is currently the only player to have achieved this feat, back in 1963.
