IN RARE INTERVIEW, RED SOX' HARRINGTON TALKS UP HIS TEAM

          Red Sox CEO John Harrington spoke to Will McDonough of
     the BOSTON GLOBE and said that should the team fail to
     advance to the ALCS, it will cost the Red Sox "about a
     million dollars."  Harrington: "Virtually all the money from
     the first three games in a series goes to the players and
     expenses. ... But if we win, we can start to make money, and
     that would be significant for our future."  Harrington also
     said that "some people are talking about a 10-year deal" for
     Red Sox TV rights that "might get up around" $400M.  But he
     doubted if such a deal would be signed soon, saying "it will
     happen two or three years from now."  Harrington also said
     that the team "will have to make a hard decision" in January
     about whether or not they can afford a new ballpark, and
     that "at the earliest," the Red Sox would be thinking about
     playing in the ballpark in 2004 (BOSTON GLOBE, 9/28).
