The Starting Five

Sporting News, The, March 15, 1999

What the sports world is talking about this week

1 March Madness, The NCAA Tournament? Nah, optimism in small-revenue baseball teams' camps.

2 Larry Walker's $75 million contract, He's starting a foundation in his native British Columbia to benefit the poor. Needless to say, Brian Burke and the Canucks are very excited.

3 The Clippers' 0-14 start, The season-ticket holder is outraged.

4 The new Browns, They call them that so there's no confusion--between them and the old 49ers.

5 St. Patrick's Day, It honors the man who drove the snakes from Ireland. Unfortunately, they ended up in the U.S. as player agents.
