BP ON THE FOURTH of JULY
We'll be publishing a smaller slate of content on the holiday itself, but
you'll still get Prospectus Preview, Hit List, and UTK Wrap at the very
least. We'll be dark on Saturday, and return to action on Sunday.
BP RADIO

about the roll-out of his small talks in major league parks, the challenges
he faces, and where the educational efforts should go next. Society at
large--and the NFL--has a long way to go, but it will be interesting to see
how this well-funded effort works as a first step. Listen in to hear where
baseball's investing in steroid education by surfing to:
