FROM MY SEAT
WARMING BY THE HOT STOVE
I tried very (okay, somewhat) hard to make it through December without turning my attention to baseball. Alas, impossible. Among the beauties of this offseason is the fact that pitchers and catchers report for spring training on February 14th. Yes, Valentine's Day. My brain may be on football and basketball time . . . but my heart, as always, is on the diamond.

LOTT LOSES TRACTION, HANGS IN THERE
Despite gathering disaffection on the part of both political opponents and erstwhile political supporters, U.S. Senate Majority Leader-designate Trent Lott of Mississippi held a press conference on home-state turf Friday on which he apologized for controversial remarks for the third time in a week but vowed not to call it quits as his party's leader in the Senate.
LUNN TO CHANNEL 5; ROBINSON WEIGHING LEGAL OPTIONS
Two former news anchors for WPTV-TV, Channel 24, are not quite out of sight, out of mind.
