Something is afoot in our world today. The polar ice caps are melting, extreme weather events such as droughts and storms are increasing in frequency and intensity, and the 1990s were the hottest decade of the past millennium. Scientists increasingly agree that these phenomena, and many others, are due to processes of human-induced global warming.

Sometimes in sports, a moment occurs just perfectly so that the difference between two teams becomes so stark that a light bulb turns on over the head of every fan watching. For example: During the 13 inning regular season thriller between the Red Sox and the Yankees, fans saw Derek Jeter take a face plant into the stands at the exact same moment that Nomar was sitting in the dugout sulking. Apparently Theo Epstein saw the contrast too, since Nomar was wearing a Cubs uniform shortly thereafter.
