australfoto > A view of Sao Joao Nepomucemo, hometown of Runner Ronaldo da Costa in Brazil's southeastern state of Minas Gerais. The youngest of 11 children, and from a simple country home,  Da Costa came from nowhere to break the 10 year old marathon world record in Berlin in 1998 with a time of 2:06:05., and has since returned to relative obscurity. Da Costa cherishes his moment of glory but does not dwell on his lackluster performances since 1998. He has invested in real estate in his town and is busy starting an athletic association for young people. (Australfoto/Douglas Engle)

australfoto > The Asheville Tourists minor baseball league team play in McCormick Field in Asheville, North Carolina. Baseball, played with nine players per team and with a horse-hide covered hard ball, derives its name from from the four bases on the wide diamond-shaped field. Probably derived from the English games of cricket and rounders, baseball was widely played in the northeastern USA in the mid 18th century. The first organized baseball club was formed in New York City in 1845.(Australfoto/Douglas Engle)
