Rough Water Swim Becomes Tucsonian's Ocean Challenge

Tucson resident and Episcopal priest Father Lewis Sasse, 74, touts his role as a seasoned competitor and has earned multiple trophies for being the oldest finisher. He began swimming the event after watching a top local swimmer during a 30-year Tucson residency and is driven by the sport’s Mount Everest like lure.

Father Sasse off La Jolla risks waves for yearly swim
Hardy competitor Father Sasse cherishes the annual swim as a high point, despite rough seas and foggy seas. He trains two months yearly at La Jolla and swims once daily when in town, saying outdoor worship can be part of the experience. A younger swimmer once tried to follow and nearly turned blue, learning from the tide and the sea.

Sam McDowell waivers spark long troubled tale
The Pittsburgh Pirates placed veteran left-hander Sam McDowell on waivers for his unconditional release. The piece traces his career from a $100,000 Indians bonus in 1960 through stops with the Giants and Yankees, his late promise in 1970, and final release in 1975, ending with a somber note on his struggle with alcohol and the lack of guiding influence.
