1.   Hamilton crouched near the plate and cringed as Fernando Tatis caught his soft pop for the first out of the eighth inning.

2.   Kenny G simply makes soft romantic pop come out of his saxophone.

3.   Still, if soft pop is what you want to hear, then this album will do nicely.

4.   Pettitte limited the damage, though, by retiring Jay Buhner on a routine grounder and John Olerud on a soft pop.

5.   A soft pop bounced in front of right-fielder Brian Jordan, and nearly rolled to the wall, allowing Tony Batista and Bush to score.
