Judgment Calls

[Thumb Up] To the Boston Red Sox, for their sponsorship of the A. Bartlett Giamatti Little League Center in Bristol, Conn. The center will be devoted to youngsters who are physically and mentally disabled.

[Thumb Down] To the NHL, for its response to an incident on April If in which Buffalo Sabre players pummeled a Quebec Nordique fan who had ventured onto the ice. NHL vice-president Brian O'Neill said the players involved would not be disciplined until the completion of an investigation that might "take a little time"—i.e., until after the playoffs.
