					<description><![CDATA[The New York Yankees’ “Core Four” of Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada (“Core Five” if Bernie Williams is added, as he should be) is not simply the foundation of their 1996 to 2000 dynasty in which they won four World Series in five years, but it is a selling point for [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It’s doubtful that Yoenis Cespedes was so calculating in his latest inexplicable act of failed potential, sunk cost and disastrous lack of contract fulfillment that he planned to use the New York Mets’ gift for embarrassing dysfunction to give him air cover as he left the team for good. But that is exactly what happened [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Zack Snyder is going beyond the requisite promotional blitz for the “Snyder Cut” of Justice League (ETA 2021). He’s even abandoned the cryptic comments about Joss Whedon’s directorial effort in the critical and commercial disappointment of 2017’s theatrical release of Justice League by expressly saying he would have burned the Whedon footage and that he had [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When the numbers for Mookie Betts’ contract extension with the Los Angeles Dodgers were revealed, they were big, but not big enough that the Boston Red Sox could say they were justified in dealing him. Immediately, Red Sox fans were even angrier than they were when the trade was made as they thought with great [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A brief run of popularity does not automatically anoint iconic status. There needs to be more. If, for example, a certain item fundamentally changes the landscape and relegates inferior entities to irrelevance while staying timely and groundbreaking despite the passage of time, it qualifies as a cultural flashpoint. This might sound overly hyperbolic when discussing [&#8230;]]]></description>
