	Go (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to legend, the game was used as a teaching tool after the ancient Chinese emperor Yao 堯 (2337 - 2258 BC) designed it for his son, Danzhu, who he thought needed to learn discipline, concentration, and balance.
		Game 5 of the 2002 LG Cup final between Choe Myeong-hun (white) and Lee Sedol (fl) at the end of the opening stage; white has developed a great deal of potential territory, while fl has emphasized central influence.
		The game of Go plays a part in the American TV miniseries, Wild Palms which references a piece of computer technology called a "Go chip." Go figures prominently in the introduction of La Femme Nikita to the mysterious character of Jurgen during an important character arc in the television series La Femme Nikita.

	Asterisk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For example, 47* in a number of matches column means that the current game is the players 47th.
		In economics, the use of an asterisk after a letter indicating a variable such as price, output, or employment indicates that the variable is at its optimal level (that which is achieved in a perfect market situation).
		Because Ruth had amassed 60 home runs in a season with only 154 games, compared to Maris' 61 over 162 games, baseball commissioner Ford Frick announced that Maris' accomplishment would be recorded in the record books with an explanation (often referred to as "an asterisk" in the retelling).

	*Star
		But almost certainly the game will end with the players agreeing on what the score is long before the board is completely filled in.
		A game between players at very different levels would not have the same tension and excitement as a game between equals, unless...
		The second way of balancing is for the weaker player to start the game with extra "stones" on the board (the game is commonly played by placing stones of two colors in the cells of a board).

		Tuesday's game was the sixth-longest in history, but the lack of a winner means we won't have a hero to remember like the five previous games that lasted longer:
		Williams stayed in the game and later drove in a run, but had surgery two days later and missed the rest of the season.
		Even after the game became deadlocked and the pitching took over, there was still plenty of drama.

		Kidd had his second sub-par shooting game in the NBA Finals and again couldn't get the Nets' transition offense in gear as the San Antonio Spurs defeated New Jersey 84-79 on Sunday night to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
		Kidd, who was 4-for-17 in a Game 1 loss, hit six of 19 shots and scored just 12 points.
		After scoring 14 points in the first two games of the series, he had 21 on 8-for-16 shooting, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range.

		Thirty-six games is the ninth-longest hitting streak in major league history.
		If Bonds stays on the pace of at-bats per game (2.87) and at-bats per home run (7.9) he has averaged the past five seasons, he would pass Ruth at home April 25 against the Mets.

	Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete - Retroview
		This game had a great story which is inspiring if nothing else, as your party of mostly normal people have personalities that don't necessarily fit into the heroic archetype, and in the end must face up to the possibility of their own inadequacy to do the job that is required of them.
		While they may not be as funny as they were at the time, this game also throws in a series of pop culture references that don't necessarily add much to the story, but are fun to see nonetheless.
		Admittedly, this wasn't the most original game in the world, but Working Designs was trying for a 32-bit game with a classic feel, so this is what you got.

		Clemens' storybook season suddenly had acquired an asterisk and the AL was on its way to a 9-4 win before 41,886 at Minute Maid Park.
		Eighteen years ago, as a 23-year-old emerging superstar with the Red Sox, Clemens started and was named MVP of the previous All-Star Game in Houston, at the Astrodome.
		The NL trimmed it to 7-4 in the bottom half on back-to-back doubles by St. Louis' Edgar Renteria and Pujols, his second of the game.

		So, to get in there and battle through that whole game, especially going one-goal down and then getting one point out of there is definitely something that we were positive about, but not complacent with.
		We brought a lot of positives out of the game, but we were still disappointed that we got out of there without a win.
		It's going to be a tough game, and those players are going to show up every day and give a good performance and be a tough team to play.

	Roger Maris \| BaseballLibrary.com
		The change was the only alteration of the lineup the Cardinals fielded in 1966 when they finished in sixth place, 12 games behind the Dodgers, but it was a significant one, as they won consecutive National League championships in 1967 and 1968 with Maris.
		The game is scoreless until Mickey Mantle cracks a 5th inning opposite field homer off Jim Kaat, who then walks three, hits two batters, and a serves up a Gil McDougald 2-run triple good for three runs.
		This removes 50 games from the list that had previously been considered no-no's, mostly shortened games, but also including Harvey Haddix's 12 perfect innings against the Braves in 1959 and Jim Maloney' 1965 1—0 loss in 11-innings.

		Lovingier is 29 years old (turns 30 in two months), has yet to pitch even a single major-league game, and he's never started even a single game since becoming a professional pitcher in 1994.
		Florida's Beckett, of course, is still regarded as one of the game's great pitching prospects, perhaps the game's greatest pitching prospect, and it's simply a matter of time (barring injury, of course).
		So six major-league pitchers have won at least 15 games in each of the last three seasons, and five major-league pitchers have saved at least 30 games in each of the last three seasons.

		A 3-2 game with a 2-out ninth inning comeback is a thrilling game no matter how you slice it.
		Since then, only once in a lifetime of going to games have I ever left before the last pitch was thrown; a 14-inning, several hour rain-delayed monstrosity between the Orioles and Cubs in interleague play, which we attended solely to see Sammy Sosa, who unfortunately was suspended for corking his bat at the time.
		Anyway, today's game was, and I say this having watched a good deal of bad baseball, quite possibly the worst all around game I've ever seen.

	Ichiro's Edge -- The Hardball Times
		For example, the chances of breaking the record for most plate appearances is clearly more enhanced with 162 games compared to 154 when compared to the chances of breaking the record for Most Perfect games pitched in a season.
		That works out to 4.225 at-bats per game, which is 634 at-bats per 150 games, or 651 at-bats per 154 games, or 684 at-bats per 162 games.
		The irony is that whereas the extra eight games on the schedule created a mega-furor when Maris broke Ruth’s record, the same factor is being almost totally ignored as Ichiro gets set to cruise past Sisler, even though this edge was a hamster for Maris, and is a gorilla for Ichiro.

		As the Angels pursue a slugger in trade talks, they have discovered that their highly touted prospects are not necessarily the players most coveted by opposing teams.
		Set upon by three months of hardball imprecision, put there in part by several more months of front-office imprecision, the Angels at their top end — what they put on the field every night — appear to have stalled out, like a discarded baseball rolled dead on a damp infield.
		SEATTLE — It was a game that almost defied explanation for the Angels, who were supposed to ride their starting pitching, defense and bullpen to contention in the American League West but suffered major breakdowns in all three areas in Tuesday night's 10-8 loss to the Seattle Mariners in Safeco Field.

		A baseball novel in the mold of The Natural and For Love of the Game, The King's Game is the story of a veteran pitcher who takes the mound for Game Seven of the World Series unware it marks the final nine innings of his troubled existence on the diamond.
		This is the book that really inspired The King's Game I think, and while I can see the comparisons between Shaara's story and my own in terms of structure, I think the content is really far different.
		Congrats Barry on tainting the most revered records in the game (73* and 714*) and ensuring your legacy will be one of everybody outside of SF despising you.

		Forget for a moment the standard, time-worn arguments — keeping popular stars in the game a few more years against the strategy triggered by the pitcher taking his place in the batting lineup.
		Today, opponents argue the DH slows the game because of the extra offense and the AL tendency to change pitchers in mid-inning because managers don't pinch-hit for them.
		For them, that tradition is the DH — the game they grew up with all these years.
