{ItAMPA, Fla. — Cesar Cede-

■ars in front of him. But when
all done they’ll remember
all the things he could do — hit,

he led the league in labels.

The Cincinnati Reds aren’t
ioverlv concerned about that.

[years ago and averaged 75
RBI for those two seasons.
Cedeno, who is going back to
the outfield full-time this year
with the Reds and will be their
regular center fielder, is just get
ting over the flu. But, before it
got him down, Cedeno, with his
stratospheric .435 batting fi
gure, was challenging Kansas
City’s George Brett and Boston’s
Jim Rice for the Grapefruit Cir
cuit hitting title.
“To me, Cesar is a blue-chip
player,” says Reds’ Manager
Johnny McNamara. “He gives
us our first bonafide center fiel
der since Cesar Geronimo, and
he really showed me something
when he came in early with the
pitchers and catchers this
spring.”
Before the 1978 season, the
Astros signed Cedeno to what
they called “a lifetime contract.”
It was for something like $3.5
million and covered 10 years.
That June, he tore ligaments
in his left knee sliding into
second base in a game with the
Cubs and in the 1980 playoffs
with the Phillies, he suffered ex
treme ligament damage to his
right ankle trying to beat out a
ground ball at first base. He hit
.309 for the Astros that season.
Alternating between first base
and the outfield for them last
season, he tailed off to .271.
The Astros felt a sense of dis
appointment in the right-
handed hitting 31-year-old
Cedeno despite the fact he ranks
in the top three in every major
offensive category in their his
tory. The Astros felt he could’ve
done more.
The Reds, on the other hand,
are looking at him in a different
light. Ted Kluszewski, the Reds’
batting coach, worked with
Cedeno this spring, changed his
swing somewhat and quite ob
viously did a whole lot of good.
“With those knee and ankle
injuries he had, I think he forgot

Wofford Cain Olympic Pool,
from which the participants will
run to the Brazos Center.
From there, all those in the
event will bike along a route on
the Highway 6 bypass on the east
side of Bryan and College Sta
tion.
Activities begin at 8 a.m. April
10. The swimming event will
have several starting times, with
participants being assigned one
in accordance with their esti
mates for completion.

Weis said. “In essence, partici

rather than necessarily against
other individuals.”
Trophies will be awarded to
the top four finishers in 10 diffe

categories for men and women.
T-shirts will be given to all parti
cipants and commemorative
plaques or paper weights will be
awarded to those who finish the
event.
Weis said that each person
must be accompanied by some
one to count laps at the swim
ming pool and transport the
participant’s bike to the start of
the cycling event.
To obtain registration forms
or more information about the
event, those interested should
contact the Bryan-College Sta
tion Chamber of Commerce, In

how to swing,” says Klu. “Some
times, when you get injuries like
that, you try to favor them un
consciously, sort of defend your
self against them, and you mess
up your swing. I think we’ve got
him back to where he was a cou
ple of years ago. He’s kind of an
impatient man. That’s under
standable. He was a pretty good
ballplayer.”
For their part, the Astros are
delighted with the spiritedly
aggressive Knight, who made a
special point of seeking out club
President and General Manager
A1 Rosen after the deal was
made.
“They told me a lotta stories
about how tough you were when
you were playing and I just
wanted to meet you and see for
myself,” Knight said to Rosen.
“Look, I don’t wanna fight
you,” Rosen laughed, throwing
up his hands. “At my age, I just
wanna be your friend.”
Rangers trade Oliver
to Montreal for Parrish
United Press International
For the second straight day, a major trade
dominated baseball news.
The Texas Rangers sent A1 Oliver, a .303 life
time hitter, to Montreal Wednesday in a deal that
should improve the Expos’ chances of winning
their first National League pennant.
Oliver was obtained by the Expos for third
baseman Larry Parrish and minor league infiel
der Dave Hostetler about 36 hours before the
inter-league trading deadline will go into effect.
“The key to the deal is Oliver wanted to be
traded,” said Rangers’ Manager Don Zimmer.
“And we got the best deal we could for him . in
that way, I am pleased with the deal.”
In exhibition games Wednesday: Ray Burris
allowed two singles in six innings and pushed his
record to 5-0 for ihe Expos in a 3-0 victory over
the Rangers.
