Bronson Arroyo has a solid windup. It turns out he has a pretty smooth delivery, too. Having established himself as a major-league starter and winning a World Series with the Red Sox, the Hernando High grad fulfilled another dream by cutting his first album.
Covering the Bases , a CD of Arroyo covering mostly '90s rock, is tentatively set for a July 12 national release, with the possibility of a July 13 concert in Boston and an ensuing DVD.
SEEN AND (OVER)HEARD: So much for the question if pro golfer Natalie Gulbis and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger are an item. Gulbis, who poses in a bikini on the cover of her own calendar, was late to Derek Jeter's charity tournament at Avila last week because her plane was delayed leaving Pittsburgh, which was not the site of an LPGA event. ... Simeon Rice could have some even more interesting views of the world after co-hosting FHM magazine's Super Bowl party.
NEWS BRIEFS: After reading of new Hall of Famer Wade Boggs' hunting exploits in the St. Petersburg Times, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals folks sent him a letter reading "it takes a real "chicken man' to shoot defenseless animals" and threatening to put him in the PETA Hall of Shame. ... Up for Grabs , a documentary about the fight over Barry Bonds' record-setting 73rd home run ball, screens Saturday (2/5) at the Sarasota Film Festival, 3:15 p.m. at the Regal Hollywood 20 Cinemas, 1993 Main St. Lawrence Taylor's team had the best score at Jeter's tournament and Brett Hull won the longest drive and closest to the pin contests. ... Rays manager Lou Piniella and senior adviser Don Zimmer are among the headliners for the Connecticut Sports Foundation Against Cancer dinner Feb.11 at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville.
