October 9, 1992: W. Clement Stone places a bid for the White Sox again. Rumors also spread that former President Ronald Reagan may attempt to buy the team.

Does Reagan have a connection to Chicago?

The obvious expansion sites are Chicago and Miami in the AL and…uh, I don’t know, Charlotte and Vancouver in the NL? The alignment will either need to revert to East-West or get really fucky to work.

Also, if the Habs’ arena becomes the catalyst to Quebec secession, how does that affect the Expos? I don’t think it would save the Nordiques but it could save the Expos.

    November 11, 1992: The Penguins meet the Blues in St. Louis Arena. With 12:33 left in the second period, at the score of 1-1, Larry Murphy lays a big hit on Doug Gilmour. Gilmour retaliates by shoving his glove in Murphy's face. They both drop their gloves and go at it. In the background, Craig Janney meets Rich Tocchet go into a bloody fistacuff. Then, the big one goes down. Mario Lemieux meets Brett Hull at center ice, and they go at it. Hull ends up beating Lemieux, however, as they go to the box, Kelly Chase of the Blues leaves the bench to fight with Lemieux. Hull tries to pull him away, but Chase repeatedly tells him to "f*ck off."In one of the weirdest scenes in hockey history, Kelly Chase punches Brett Hull, and Hull proceeded to beat Chase to a pulp, leaving him with a scratched eye, a black eye, and a bad concussion.
