votes, and Darryl Strawberry of the
New York Mets, who received
907,107, despite missing six weeks
with a thumb injury. Kevin McRey-
nolds of San Diego finished fourth
with 664,888 and Willie McGee of
St. Louis, the NL’s leading hitter,
was fifth among the outfielders with
630,075.
“I’m very delighted to get so much
fan support,” Strawberry said. “A lot
of players are playing well, such as
(Dave) Parker and (Willie) McGee,
and deserve a chance to start. If I
hadn’t been hurt, I probably would
have had the numbers just as well as
other outfielders.”
Strawberry, hitting only .221 be
fore Wednesday’s game, said he be
lieved the fans voted for him “be
cause I proved myself the first two
years.”
Joining Nettles and Herr in the
infield are St. Louis shortstop Ozzie
Smith and first baseman Steve Gar
vey of San Diego. Smith, who will be
making his third straight start, re
ceived 1,349,362 votes, well ahead of
Garry Templeton of San Diego, who
had 820,449, the man he was traded
for in 1982. Garvey, named a starter
for the ninth time in his career, got
1,310,1 11 votes, outdistancing Keith
Hernandez of the Mets, who fin
ished with 841,951.
“It’s a big thrill, it always is,” Gar
vey said. “But the first one, I think, is
the most special. In my case, it was
even more so because that year I was
a write-in candidate and I ended up
winning the MVP award.”
Gary Carter of the Mets, the
game’s most valuable player for the
second time in his career last year,
was selected the starting catcher for
the fifth straight time with 1,129,018
votes. San Diego’s Terry Kennedy
was the runner-up with 777,485.
San Diego Manager Dick Williams
and the NL office will select the
pitchers and remaining members of
the team. The AL starters will be an
nounced Thursday.
The 56th All-Star Game will be
played next Tuesday night in Min
neapolis. The National League holds
a 35-19 lead with one tie in the series
that began in 1933. The NL has won
12 of the last 13 games, 20 of the last
22, and 25 of the last 28.

USFL title game hitting
close to home for Stars
Associated Press
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. —
When the Baltimore Stars take the
field in the United States Football
JLeague championship game against
the Oakland Invaders at Giants Sta
dium Sunday night, it could be con
strued as their first home game of
the season.
For the Stars, who practice and
live in the Philadelphia area, it’s only
an 1 '/2 hour ride up the Jersey Turn
pike to get here. For their nine home
games in College Park, Md. this sea
son, they had to travel almost three
hours.
The Stars, who will be playing in
the USFL title game for the third
time in the three years of the
league’s existence, are the prototype
of stability most other teams in the
USFL can only pray for.
They have had the same owner,
general manager and coach for all
three years. Even more amazing, in a
league of revolving-door rosters,
they still have 27 of the 49 players
who played in the 1983 title game.
But when the league voted last
summer to move to the fall starting
in 1986, they decided to get out of
Philadelphia to avoid a conflict with
the National Football League Eagles
and jump into the Baltimore market
abandoned by the NFL’s Colts.
So they became a team that could
better be called the 1-95 Nomads,
practicing in Philadelphia, calling
themselves “Baltimore” and playing
in College Park, closer to Baltimore.
Then, having lost only six games in
their first two years of existence,
they went out and lost that many in
12 weeks, finally winning five of
their last six regular-season games
and their two playoff contests to
make it here.
Coach Jim Mora thinks the move
had a lot to do with the early seaon
on-field problems.
“Here we were the league cham
pions and we hardly had time to en
joy the championship before we had
to wonder about where we were
going to play,” Mora said. “We were
three weeks into training camp and
we still didn’t know whether we were
going to practice in Baltimore or
Philadelphia.
“We couldn’t even read about
ourselves in the newpspapers. Play
ers have vanity. They’d pick up the
Philadelphia papers on the day after
the game and all they’d see about
themselves was the score.”
Finally, the Stars began to wake
up.
“It wasn’t a bolt of lightning that
just came down,” Mora said. “But
little-by-little, things began to get
better. We got accustomed to com
muting, the injuries healed and we
began to win. That’s one thing these
guys know how to do — they win.”
Busch Golf Classic makes 'Strange' brew
Associated Press
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — After
last week’s win in the Canadian
Open, host pro Curtis Strange is rid
ing an emotional high entering the
$500,000 Anheuser-Busch Golf
Classic.
“I’m still thinking about Canada,”
Strange said Wednesday as he and
155 other pros went through their
final practice round. “Today, I get
serious again. This will be my only
practice round.”
In addition to serving as the tour
ing professional from Kingsmill Golf
Club, Strange has his home on the
grounds of the 6,746-yard, par-71
layout, where the Anheuser-Busch
begins Thursday.
Strange’s 1985 PGA Tour earn
ings of $520,081 place him on top of
the money list. The Canadian Open
was his third victory this year, fol
lowing the Honda Classic and the
Panasonic Las Vegas Invitational
and he has finished second twice, at
the Masters and the Bing Crosby Na
tional Pro-Am.
But Strange has yet to win the An
heuser-Busch.
Last year he finished third behind
Ronnie Black, who tied the course
record with a closing-round 63 and
Willie Wood, who led the first three
rounds before faltering to a 71 the
final round.
“I’d like to have the same chance I
had last year going into the last nine
holes,” Strange said. “I’d take my
chances then and hopefully Ronnie
won’t shoot 63 on the last day.”
At the Anheuser-Busch, which is
played on a hilly layout on the banks
of the James River, Strange will be
joined by three more of the top five
money-winners on this year’s Tour
— No. 2 Lanny Wadkins, No. 3 Ray
Floyd and No. 5 Calvin Peete.
