(AP)— Former heavyweight
boxing great Muhammad Ali,
63, who has suffered from
Parkinson’s disease for many
years, is getting worse, his
daughter, Laila Ali, told The Los
Angeles Times.
“I feel like the disease is pro
gressing,” she told The Times.
“ Different things start happen

Parkinson’s.

C hicago h a d n 't won it all since 1917,
and h ad n ’t even reached the Series since
’59. But thanks to M V P Jerm aine Dye,
slugger Paul K onerko and the rest, the
W hite Sox will no longer be mainly rem em

Cincinnati.
And another parallel is striking: Boston

Out at restaurants, fans recognize play
