For the Record - Sept. 18, 2008

Baseball: The chart on the magic number for the Dodgers to clinch the National League West championship in Wednesday’s Sports section said any combination of eight victories by the Dodgers or eight losses by the Arizona Diamondbacks would give the NL West title to the Dodgers. In fact, as of Wednesday morning, both the San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies were mathematically still in the race; if either of those teams won all of its remaining games and the Dodgers lost all of their remaining games, that team would be tied with the Dodgers for first.
