That batting average understates her ability to get on base, because her hits are often scored as errors when she forces infielders to rush their throws.

That has given Harvard a huge advantage this year, as its opponents have a mere eight steals in comparison...

By the following year, a New York City church was created (in what McKean refers to as “a metropolis of 18 million lost souls”), and Sunday services in Boston proper...
