At 79, Leon Weissberg can look back on a life of many accomplishments. But the one that makes the Cooper City educator especially proud happened just five years ago — he became a rabbi.

MIAMI — Late Sunday morning, when asked about potentially extending the Marlins four-game winning streak, Clayton McCullough gave the typical coach answer. “As boring and cliche as that is, you can’t do anything about tomorrow,” the first-year Marlins manager said. “So it’s about going out today and trying to play a clean game.” McCullough’s message must not have been received.
