Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Jesse Barfield led the major leagues in home runs last season with 40 and he has strong ideas on how to take batting practice. There's no use trying to hit home runs all the time to impress people. That is not going to benefit me, he says. He has also learned from experience not to take his hitting problems onto the field when he picks up his glove. When I'm not hitting, I'm ornery, he says.

      Money, not ideas, is what's lacking for Steve Doyle. A designer with five children to support, he can make products for schools hospitals and stores. But there's a credit squeeze on, and lack of capital may force him out of business.
