Former Rams and Chargers defensive end Lamar Lundy, once plagued by knee trouble and illnesses, is diagnosed with myasthenia gravis after a long, exhausting medical search led by his wife Lilli. The condition causes muscle weakness and breathing difficulties, with a difficult diagnostic path and treatment including surgery. Lundy's health later worsens, leading to hospitalization and a tracheotomy before his move back to Los Angeles.

Patience helps Boog Powell rebound for Orioles
Slumping Orioles first baseman Boog Powell credits patience and a return to his regular stance for a June 29 average of .159. Under manager Earl Weaver, Powell embraced platooning and read a Ted Williams batting article to refocus. Since June 29 he has hit .310 with 20 hits in 63 at bats, including five homers and 14 RBIs, as Weaver notes Powell, Johnson, and Buford are starting to produce. Powell acknowledges an undisclosed nagging injury but says rest helps. Weaver supports the cautious approach and continues to rely on the hot bats of Oates and Grich.
