...somehow diminish the importance of the World Series. But the owners felt they needed something to bring back the fans disillusioned by the 1994 strike, and the players are genuinely excited about facing the best of the other league. Now fans in San Diego will be able to see Ken Griffey Jr. in person, just as fans in Seattle will get their first look at Hideo Nomo. Imagine what the N.B.A. would be like if Michael Jordan never came to town...

...Each time a new couple arrives, they are presaged by the glow of their headlights; then their silhouettes are thrown up, vastly enlarged, against the screen that marks the front door, creating an effect both menacing and inherently comical. The second act begins with no sound except that of Ken chewing and swallowing his dinner: magnified to such a volume that it reverberates through the theater, ironically underscoring Ken's loss of hearing...
