Just prior to my last minute Sunday night column writing the power went out in Milan and I was forced to wait until early Monday morning to write this, so it will be brief, which it should be anyway with the title of Steve's Sports' Shorts. Thank you goes out to Virginia Vachon and Diane Holt for sending me some "old" clippings of sports stories that I really enjoyed.

Also, a big thank you goes out to historian Bob Gauthier for furnishing that old baseball photo related to the 1918 Spanish flu. And finally to my good friend and classmate, Sue (you know who you are). That sentence in my column from Thursday should have read, "As mentioned in Tuesday's column!”
