	ESPN.com: MLB - Emotional Kosc fights back tears at final game
		BALTIMORE -- Greg Kosc couldn't mask his emotions as he prepared for the final game of his 23-year career as a major league umpire.
		Kosc was one of 22 umpires whose resignations were accepted by major league baseball in the wake of the union's ill-fated attempt to try to force an early start to negotiations for a new labor contract.
		Kosc received a business degree in business administration from the University of Texas-El Paso, where he competed in weightlifting and threw the shot put and hammer.

	Boston White Sox -- Greg Kosc
		Greg Kosc joined the White Sox in July of the 2006 season for a 6-game stretch.
		Kosc continued to hit.400+ in both 2003 and 2004 proving to be one of the strongest and most consistent outfielders in the league.
		A well rounded athlete in centerfield, Kosc has tremendous range and a strong arm to make any ball hit in his direction, or any runner who dares to take an extra base on him, a likely out.

	Jewhoo! - "News & Notes"
		It was during a conversation over coffee with the doctoral student, Grzegorz "Greg" Kosc, that I realized this graffiti may not be an accurate measure of Lodz.
		Greg, a soft-spoken young man, amiable, personable, my guide through a jungle of university bureaucracy, tried to articulate in a compassionate, apologetic tone that this graffiti was mostly about --football.
		Yet the ugly, ugly markings on the one surviving synagogue from before the war, a desolate structure rarely open, tucked away in an uninviting courtyard, clearly illustrated this was not all just football.
