NEW YORK — In about 30 years, Kieran Culkin, a great American actor, will make a terrific Shelley “The Machine” Levene, the sad-sack veteran salesman in David Mamet’s masterful “Glengarry Glen Ross,” the 1983 drama about desperate Chicago real estate sharks that surely is the best play ever written about the dehumanizing underbelly of American business, with the honorable exception of Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman.” I hope I am around to see that production.

First baseman Michael Busch is among them, though he said he didn’t notice much of a difference and as of now doesn’t plan to use one. The model’s “torpedo” moniker is inspired by the barrel’s design…
