Make us your home page  Tom Jones' 2 cents  Tom Jones has his
opinions.  Special guest Marc Topkin gives us his five best
baseball towns  Topkin This weekend, the Rays make their first-
ever visit to St. Louis, which many claim is the best baseball
town in the country. So Two Cents decided to bring a special
guest who knows a thing or two about baseball towns. I might be
a little biased, but I don't think you're going to find a better
baseball writer around than the St. Pete Times' Marc Topkin, who
has covered baseball since 1987. So Marc gives us his five best
baseball towns. Take it away, Marc:  1. St. Louis: A college
football atmosphere around the diamond. 2. Boston: Everyone's
into the Sox, though some do it for show. 3. New York: The fans
know a lot about the game; just ask them. 4. Baltimore: That's
why it's so sad to see what's happening now. 5. Cincinnati:
Traditionally among the best; but what's up with that chili?
