Year In Review: August
You might remember, toward the end of last year, when we reviewed each month of the past year leading up to New Years Day. We called it, imaginatively, "Year In Review." We continue today with August. We're digging through our archives pretty well, but if you think we should definitely feature something for the last year that we might overlook, email us at [email protected] with suggestions. And enjoy the trip down the lane of diminishing memory!
AUGUST HIGHLIGHTS
• August 4: Mariner Moose is unable to slow down the Red Sox juggernaut.
• August 7: Barry Bonds breaks Hank Aaron's all-time home run record. The world survives just fine.

• August 9: Rick Ankiel homers in his first game back in the majors.
• August 14: Wait, it's illegal to attack pitchers with bats? Who knew?
