It’s a great country. America has always been the home of second chances. Just take a gander at Hugh Grant on late-night TV or lick 32 cents’ worth of Richard Nixon in the Postal Service’s recent offering. But the tolerance of American sports these days-and of the fans who support them–is remarkable. It isn’t just Darryl or Iron Mike. Steve Howe, seven-time drug offender, is Strawberry’s teammate, leading to Yankee Stadium’s new nickname, “The Halfway House That Ruth Built....
