Page 12 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1981 Sports Yanks must stop Dodgers tonight TANK MCNAMARA by Jeff Millar & BillHift Series getting more bizarre United Press International NEW YORK — What this World Series needs is a little pizazz. After all, besides the Los Angeles Dodgers making their usual comeback, the New York Yankees owner breaking his hand in an eleva tor, the Dodger infield playing in handcuffs, the Yankee outfield performing in leg irons, the Dodger manager hugging everything that moves, and the Yankee baserunners acting like confused roadrunners on a freeway, what has really happened? Well, Dodger right-hander Burt Hooton opposes New York lefty Tommy John tonight, weather permitting, with a chance to give the Dodgers their first North American title since 1965. A forecast of rain could put the game in jeopardy, though. No, Johnny Carson will not be the home plate umpire. “This team is loose and that’s one big reason why we do so well in tight situations, ” said the Dodgers’ Jay Johnstone, who clouted a key two-run, pinch homer in Game 4 to spark an 8-7 triumph. If the Dodgers are loose, they sure belong in this Series. They have yet to play a crisp, flawless game and they still lead, three games to two. New York once led this affair 2-0 and has taken considerable pains to wind up in the danger zone. “The last two games we beat ourselves,” understated Yankee catcher Rick Cerone. Yankee outfielders Reggie Jackson and Bob by Brown helped cost the Yankees a game with fielding blunders. Larry Milboume and Aure- lio Rodriguez have made basic baserunning mistakes. And $20 million man Dave Winfield was so happy about finally getting a hit he called for the ball. But like a team serious about winning, the Dodgers are making sure to capitalize. They have already come back in two postseason series and need just one victory in two games in Yankee Stadium to complete a third. They believe this is their year. Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda just keeps praising and hugging. You get the feeling that he’ll put the ballboys in the Hall of Fame if he wins this thing. “The three games we just played in Los Angeles, that we each won by one run, were three of the most exciting games anyone could associate with,” said Lasorda, who also chanted, “The Fall Classic, The Fall Classic. ” Yankee owner George Steinbrenner added more daffiness to the Series Sunday night by reporting he had scuffled with two belligerent Dodger fans in a hotel elevator, breaking a hand. “I was coming down the elevator to have dinner,” Steinbrenner said in an interview with ABC television Monday night. “There were two people, one in the elevator and one holding the door. One had a beer in his hand. Then he said some things about New York City and the people who live there. “The next thing I knew he hit me. I’m get ting too old for that. I don’t condone that sort of thing. I get tired once in a while of people knocking New York. The fight was started not by me. We were treated beautifully in Los Angeles. “I’ll say something for Tommy Lasorda and the Dodgers. They never gave up. He kept saying they wouldn’t give up and they didn’t. It’s a different team than the ones we saw in 1977 and 1978.” Hooton and John have faced each other already in the Series, with John emerging the victor in Game 2. “I’m hoping and praying Hooton can lock it up tomorrow because he was the guy who pitched the big one against the Astros and the Expos,” said Lasorda. John said he will take a relaxed attitude to the mound and hope for the best. r ...ANP WATCMEP RXJI? C0t£W6> tWO QUARrERBApS' SHOWS...
