Dave Concepcion of Cincinnati will be the
NL’s shortstop and Atlanta’s Dale Murphy
will complete the outfield.
The pitchers and reserves for the 28-man
squad will be selected by the National
League in consultation with Lasorda.
Trillo earned his first starting berth in the
All-Star game by just 1,625 votes over Los
Angeles’ fine rookie, Steve Sax, in the closest
race in the 13-year history of fan balloting.
Concepcion easily outdistanced St. Louis’
Ozzie Smith by just under a million votes to
gain his fifth career start at shortstop.
Schmidt picked up 2,748,210 votes, second
to Carter overall, to pick up his fourth con
secutive starting assignment.
Dawson paced the outfield vote-getters
with 1,685,704 to win his second straight
starting berth and Murphy and Raines will
both be starting for the first time in their
brief careers. Dusty Baker of Los Angeles
finished fourth in the outfield voting, just
19,000 ballots behind Raines.
The complete list of American League
starters includes California’s Carew (first
base), Grich (second base), Jackson (out
field) and Lynn (outfield); Milwaukee’s
Robin Yount (shortstop); Kansas City’s
George Brett (third base); Chicago’s Carlton
Fisk (catcher); and Oakland’s Rickey Hen
derson (outfield).
Yount, who was trailing New York’s
Bucky Dent until last week, apparently be-
nefitted from a late surge of votes to outdis
tance the Yankee reserve by more than a
half million votes.
Chicago’s Fisk amassed more votes than
any other American Leaguer to earn the
starting catching position, while Kansas City
third baseman Brett and Oakland outfiel
der Henderson also won starting berths.
The pitchers and reserves will be selected by
the AL office in consultation with A’s Mana
ger Billy Martin.
Fisk received 2,625,650 votes, finishing
1.3 million votes ahead of Milwaukee’s Ted
Simmons. Fisk will be making his third
straight start.
Carew has been voted to the All-Star team
every year since the selection process was
turned over to the fans 13 years ago. He
outdistanced Boston’s Carl Yastrzemski by
150,000 votes.
Grich narrowly secured the starting spot
at second base, edging New York’s Willie
Randolph by 45,000 votes. Brett was an easy
winner for the third base job, outdistancing
Cleveland’s Toby Harrah and New York’s
Graig Nettles by more than a million votes.
Lynn edged out New York’s Dave Win
field for the final outfield spot by 3,359
votes. Jackson will be making his third con
secutive start and ninth overall in the All-
Star Game.

LOS ANGELES — The Col
iseum Commission and Oakland
Raiders have agreed on a sta
dium lease, apparently clearing
the way for the NFL team to
move to Los Angeles for the
coming season.
But shortly after the
announcement Tuesday, NFL
spokesman Donald Weiss said
the league would request a stay
from the 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals if the Raiders attempt
to move.
The Raiders appeared to
have won their three-year legal
battle to move to Los Angeles
earlier this year when a U.S. Dis
trict Court jury ruled the NFL
violated the Sherman Antitrust
Act by blocking the team’s prop
osed move.
U.S. District Judge Harry
Pregerson refused to extend an
injunction blocking the Raiders’
move pending NFL appeals.
But the city of Oakland had its
hopes revived last month when
the state Supreme Court, in a
novel interpretation, ruled the
city could sue the Raiders under
the “public use” provision of
eminent domain.
The city plans to pursue the
matter in Monterey County Su
perior Court, trying to prove
that the Raiders are of such
great importance to Oakland
that the city may use its powers
of eminent domain to stop the
team from moving.
If the city of Oakland wins its
case and the ruling is upheld on
likely appeals, the city would
have to pay the Raiders’ A1 Davis
and his partners a “reasonable
market value” before the team is
forced to return to Oakland.
But A1 Lo.Casale, executive
assistant to Davis, said he
doubted that would ever
happen.
“Our lawyers feel that in the
end we will end up free,” he said.
“Obviously, this (the eminent
domain suit) is a unique
approach to law. It’s fright
ening.”
The Coliseum was vacated
three years ago by the Los
Angeles Rams, who moved to
nearby Anaheim. Davis and the
Coliseum Commission then be
gan negotiations to bring the *•
Raiders to Los Angeles. When ■
they announced their plans in 7
1980, the NFL immediately £
sought and received a courtF £
order blocking the move.
The league claimed the move '
was a violation of Rule 4.3 of the .
NFL Constitution, which re
quires approval by three-..-
fourths of the franchise owners . •>;
for a team relocation. The Col- 7
iseum then filed the antitrust '■
suit — and the Raiders later j
joined it -‘-claiming the rule and ;
its application to the proposed /
Raiders’ move was a violation of '•
federal antitrust law.

1983 Texas contest
Athletic department officials
say they’re considering a plan to
play the 1983 Texas A&M-
Texas Thanksgiving Day foot
ball game in either Houston or
Dallas.
The one-year switch to a
neutral site would serve to break
up difficult road schedules for
both teams in future years, offi
cials say.
Texas A&M Associate Athle
tic Director Charley Thornton
said: “It’s still an idea. We ha
ven’t had a chance to talk about
it too much because we’ve been
tied up with selecting a new com
missioner.”
He said that for the plan to
work, another SWC school must
agree to play home games in
1983 and 1984 against Texas
A&M while playing Texas at Au
stin during those years. Those
changes would allow Texas
A&M and Texas to have four
home and four road games
those years.
Thornton said Houston is the
probable site of the 1983 Aggie-
Longhorn game if the plan is
conceived.
“It could be the Cotton Bowl
(in Dallas),” he said. “But I
would think Houston would,
have a better chance because )
Texas already plays one game a
year in Dallas.”
