Whatever happened to Dock: As a native Pittsburger and a Pirates fan circa 1960-'79 as well as a sports buff, I want to congratulate you on "Balls Out" (by Keven McAlester, June 16). I have always wondered what happened to Dock and where he was in life. Now that I know more about him and his whereabouts, I can appreciate him even more. Jackie Robinson's letter said it best. Thanks for a great piece of journalism.

Jewel of the desert: I was just wondering where the hell Keven McAlester got his info on Victorville. Best known for five prisons and crystal meth? Wrong! The high desert is a rapidly growing metropolis, not a "shithole" on the way out of L.A. Thousands of new homes are being built, and families are choosing to live here in this beautiful city. Get your facts straight. There are jails and drugs in every city. Characterizing Victorville that way is insulting.
