A sports diversion

If you love sports and have the opportunity to spend some time in Newport Beach, CA, I'd suggest paying a visit to the Newport Sports Museum (www.newportsportsmuseum.com). Admission is free and the memorabilia on display is impressive, particularly if you're a baseball, hockey or USC fan.

I had a chance to visit the museum this past week and came away thoroughly impressed. Jerseys, balls, autographs, bats, sticks, you name it, it's there. Among the more impressive displays: Al Geiberger's scorecard from his 59, baseballs autographed by virtually every World Series champion team, the scoresheet from the game Wayne Gretzky broke the NHL scoring record and footballs autographed by virtually every Heisman trophy winner.

It is a few hours you will not regret.
