...getting a master's, those "problems" have included the renovation of a Victorian house in Connecticut; the design of a stage set in Philadelphia; a corporate logo for financier Reginald Lewis; an open-air gathering place at Juniata College in Pennsylvania; and, soon, a "playful park" outside the Charlotte Coliseum in North Carolina (using trees shaped like spheres), and for the Long Island Rail Road section of New York's Pennsylvania Station, a glass-block ceiling, featuring fragmented, elliptical rings.

I can do better than that,' " says Fantasy founder Fred Greene, 33, a rabid A's fan who last season brought his dream to life in a box overlooking first base at the Oakland Coliseum. For $50, any Tom, Dick or would-be Harry Caray can announce a full inning of baseball with all the electronic panoply of a network broadcast booth. And this year for the first time -- at a premium of $75 -- you can do an inning of the World Series...
