Douglas M. Mox, a food broker and baseball umpire, died Monday of multiple organ failure at the University of Maryland Medical Center. He was 52. "He had been on the heart transplant list since mid-January," said his wife of 30 years, the former Carol Miller, a real estate agent with NAI KLNB. Mr. Mox, the son of a Baltimore police officer and a homemaker, was born in Baltimore and spent his early years in Morrell Park.

Baltimore baseball fans have an internal clock that normally tells them to shut it down by this time of the summer and turn their rooting interest to the Ravens and the NFL. A decade of losing seasons at Camden Yards has had its effect, though the 2008 Orioles have done a better job of holding fans' attention. But there's certainly no postseason in the offing. However, before you pack away the diamond dreams for the season, you might want to check in on the Maryland representatives in the Little League World Series.

One by one, members of the Pabao Little League of Willemstad, Curacao, named their favorite baseball player for the TV broadcast of the 2005 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.

"Everybody said him," Atlanta Braves outfielder Brian Jordan said with a laugh. "But he does a lot for Curacao and the Little League there, so they have a good role model and it is good to see. He put them on the map."

BOBBY THOMSON has nothing on Michael Memea's dream moment. After his team rallied from a three-run deficit, the 12-year-old catcher from Ewa Beach hit a game-winning home run to defeat Curacao, 7-6, and win the Little League World Series on Sunday. It was the first extra-innings Little League World Series game in 34 years and left sportswriters on Oahu wondering if Michael's Kilauean smoking of a full-count pitch wasn't the biggest blast in Hawaii history. We know, we know. Holding a world championship for 11- and 12-year-olds -- and broadcasting it internationally -- sounds like a formula for disaster, an abuse of vulnerable pre-teens whose recreation shouldn't be taken so seriously.
