Some like it hot. For the rest of the 600, the short, flat turf seemed like a grass-green layer of metal, re-radiating the early morning, early fall sunlight like one huge parabolic reflector. No sooner had the blood-red sun risen above the distant trees than it melted through the ground-hugging fog and turned Sperling Sports Complex into a giant solarium.
