Page 2 will spend the summer snarfing hot dogs and pounding brewskis in a civic-minded mission to rank every major-league yard in North America. (Hey, it's a dirty job but somebody has to do it.) And you, faithful reader, will help guide us on our way by letting our panelists know what's to like and what's to avoid at your local stadium.

Joey Buttafuoco vs. O.J. Simpson, mano a mano? Don't laugh. Page 2's Jim Armstrong says Joey's pose with Chyna already is as good as it gets in a heavyweight division that might be upgraded by a George Foreman comeback. The palookas chasing Lennox Lewis these days even make Tonya Harding look like a contenduh.

Overrated Bracket Weekend Water Cooler
The first-round results are in and . . . oh! The drama! Round 2 of our Most Overrated Person Alive bracket begins today with a headliner showdown between Adam Sandler and Jimmy Fallon. May the least-talented star win.
Page 2's Brian Murphy says Wimbledon stars so many Lolitas like Maria Sharapova that the script might have been written by Humbert Humbert. Too, the Weekend Water Cooler has a "told-you-so" about cyclist Eric Byrnes.

THE DAILY QUICKIE
The Daily Quickie says every other baseball promotion under the sun takes a back seat to the Show-stealing performances of Albert Pujols. Plus, MJ and the Bucks play out like a bad episode of "Blind Date."


Last week, we gave you our list of most overrated current athletes. This week, we give you the most overrated athletes of all time:
10]  Apolo Ohno
Ohno already deserves a spot in SI's "Where are they now?" issue. A couple of questions: Why was he an SI cover boy last year?
9]  O.J. Simpson
Simpson had one incredible year, and two other great ones. But if you check out his career stats, what you'll find is five fine seasons and six so-so ones.
8]  Pete Rose
He's got the most hits in baseball history, but that doesn't make him the greatest hitter in baseball history, as many casual fans believe. Rose kept himself in the game for five years after he should have retired.
