Hart's girls golf team's records are meant to be broken. Excuse the spin on an old cliché, but the Indians' record breaking is becoming cliché.

Charity and The Beast

We met this guy in different ways. We, being members of The Signal's Sports Department. We thought he was quirky, even neurotic. The ones who stay in contact with him still feel the same way. But one constant, besides still taking too much care on his stories (like the time we sent him to Anaheim Stadium for an Angel game, and it took him eight hours to write the story), has been his big heart. ...
