          ON THE SHELVES: SI's "Scorecard" reviews DAVE
     ROSENBAUM's "If They Don't Win It's a Shame: The Year the
     Marlins Bought the World Series."  The book "is overrun with
     contemptible characters, from conniving owner WAYNE HUIZENGA
     to crass pitcher KEVIN BROWN.  No one, though, comes across
     as distastefully as manager JIM LEYLAND" (SI, 2/23 issue).
     ...JOHN FEINSTEIN's "A March to Madness" is reviewed by SI's
     Charles Hirshberg.  Feinstein had access to seven of nine
     ACC coaches during the '96-97 season Hirshberg writes,
     "[T]here's a tension in A March to Madness that keeps the
     pages turning -- the tension in each coach's mind" (SI, 2/23
     issue)....In L.A., Earl Gustkey reviews "Shooting from the
     Outside" by women's basketball coach TARA VANDERVEER.  The
     book "offers a unique look at how far the women's game has
     traveled in less than two years since the Atlanta Games"
     (L.A. TIMES, 2/19)....TRIUMPH BOOKS distributes, "ELWAY,"

          HARRY CARAY, who spent 53 years as a MLB broadcaster,
     the last 16 with the Cubs, died Wednesday in a CA hospital
     after being removed from life support.  Caray suffered a
     heart attack on Saturday.  Caray was 78.  In Chicago, Ed
     Sherman writes Caray's "death brings an end to a remarkable
     53-year career ads a baseball play-by-play man, raconteur
     and bon vivant" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 2/19).  Also in Chicago,
     Neil Steinberg writes Caray "was a beloved figure whose
     reputation was only enhanced by the many dust-ups he had
     with management and athletes -- but significantly, never
     fans -- over his long career" (SUN-TIMES, 2/19).   USA
     TODAY's Rod Beaton called Caray "a near-mythical figure in
     Chicago" (USA TODAY, 2/19).  In Philadelphia, Jayson Stark:
     "[T]here wa something about this man that was -- or is --
     America" (INQUIRER, 2/19).  NBC's Anne Thompson: "Caray
     became one of the reasons why Americans love baseball.  He
     was the fan's broadcaster" ("Today," 2/19).  NBC's Bob
     Costas: "He was equal parts baseball play-by-play man in
     terms of craft and P.T. Barnum trying to get the people into
     the tent" ("GMA," 2/19).  In L.A., Mike Downey: "Holy cow,
     he's gone.  Cubs lose.  We all do today" (L.A. TIMES, 2/19).
