ELI'S COMING: You fans of the New York football Giants can have your prodigal son Eli, we Cubs fans are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our Eli, son of Garth and nephew of Dane. Eli Iorg was selected yesterday in the 14th round of baseball's amateur draft, which is perhaps the last sporting event not to be televised. Now, if only Harry Carray were alive to do the play-by-play of Eli Iorg's first major league at-bat.
Eli, though, wasn't the only familiar name taken yesterday in the first round of the draft. And of all the names on that list, I am most anxious to see if Auburn outfielder Sean Gamble can not only one day reach the career numbers his father, Oscar, accumulated, but also match his hirsute father in another department.
