Wagner made Cincinnati Reds the best in baseball S Dan Pastorini arrested after high-speed chase United Press International NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Los Angeles Rams quarter back Dan Pastorini was arrested early Monday for drunk driving after he was spotted driving a sports car along a windy coastal highway at 100 mph. Pastorini, who had several brushes with the law during a stormy career with the Oakland Raiders, was jailed in Newport Beach for several hours to give him time to sober up, police Lt. Jim Carson said. Carson said the Rams’ quar terback was seen about midnight speeding along the Pacific Coast Highway south of Los Angeles. “Following a brief chase, he was taken into custody,” Carson said. “Apparently there was some problem at the scene of the arrest, but there was no physical altercation or violence.” Pastorini was traded from Oakland to the Rams in the mid dle of last season after Los Angeles quarterbacks suffered a string of injuries. by Milton Richman United Press International NEW YORK — What’s that man trying to do, destroy the Cincinnati Reds? Every time 1 hear that ques tion applied to Dick Wagner, it amuses me how completely obli vious some critics can be to a set of incontrovertible facts. Fact No. 1 is, regardless of what George Steinbrenner has to say about his New York Yank ees’ dominance or what voluble Tommy Lasorda claims about his world champion Dodgers, the Reds own the best winning percentage of any team in base ball for the past 10 years. That’s past an absolute fact. And here’s another one. As the man who has called many of the shots for the Reds during that time, Dick Wagner is more responsible for their suc cess than anyone with them now. He has been president and chief executive officer of the Reds the last five years and for nine years before that, he was the the un seen but supremely efficient No. 2 man in their operation behind Bob Howsam. The big difference between Wagner and so many other big league executives is that he doesn’t become petrified over having to make what he knows will be an unpopular decision. He freely answered some questions Monday like these: Q. What was your general reasoning in disposing of George Foster, Ken Griffey, 'We Need Your Head to Run Our Business!"

As you look at your ball club, you have to look at what I call ‘obsolescence.’ That’s the time when a player reaches the stage physically where he doesn’t perform so well. With out getting into specifics about Foster, Griffey or Collins, one of the Dodger coaches (Danny Ozark) publicly described our outfield as ‘the worst in the Na tional League.’ We did feel we had to strengthen our outfield defense to remain viable conten ders. Q. Was that your only con sideration for taking the course you did? A. There were other con siderations. Ken Griffey may play for 10 more years, but if you have too many no-trade and guaranteed contracts, you tie yourself in a knot as far as your roster goes. Q. You insisted on getting Alex Trevino, the Mets’ young catcher, in the Foster deal. Was there any particular reason? A. Yes. We see more and more aggressive base running in the National League and tnat means we had to improve our Last 4 Days!
