Tigers 7 Anderson earns
AL managing honor
despite pennant loss
NEW YORK (AP) — Sparky An
derson, who led the Detroit Tigers
to the best record in baseball this sea
son, on Thursday was named Amer
ican League Manager of the Year by
the Baseball Writers’ Association of
America for the second time in four
years.
Anderson, also named manager
of the year in 1984 when the Tigers
won the World Series, received 11
first-place votes and a total of 90
points in balloting by a panel of two
BBWAA members from each AL
city.
Tom Trebelhorn of the Milwau
kee Brewers was second with 78
points and seven first-place votes,
followed by Tom Kelly of the World
Series champion Minnesota Twins
with 74 points and 10 first-place
votes.
Balloting was done on the basis of
regular-season performance only.
Each panel member was asked to
vote for three managers with five
points awarded for a first-place vote,
three for second and one for third.
Anderson’s Tigers lost the AL
playoffs in five games to the Twins,
but in many ways the series was anti-
climactic to the one that got them
there. Trailing Toronto by two
games going into a season-ending se
ries with the Blue Jays, the Tigers
swept three to win the division.
In the final two weeks of the sea
son, the Tigers played seven one-
run games with the Blue Jays, win
ning four.
Throughout the season, Ander
son claimed this team, which won 98
games, was better than the club that
won 104 games in 1984 after a 35-5
start. He claimed this despite a start
that had them in sixth place, 11
games out, on May 5.
“Sparky did a good job of keeping
us positive early in the year when
things weren’t going well,” Tigers
outfielder Kirk Gibson said. “He
told you guys (reporters) in May we
would be here, and you walked away
laughing at him.”
Anderson pointed to pitching as
the difference between ’84 and ’87.
In 1985, the Tigers traded third
baseman Howara Johnson to the
New York Mets for pitcher Walt
Terrell, who has won 47 games in
the past three years. The Tigers
added Frank Tanana in June, 1986,
and he has won 27 games since, in
cluding a six-hit, 1-0 season-ending
victory over Toronto that clinched
the division.
“I told my people, ‘If you don’t
get too down, you’ll have a smile on
your face in September,”’ Anderson
said. “I always felt we’d be within
reach when we got to the stretch.
You only had to look at our pitching
to see that.”
Although the smiles did not last
into October, Anderson was right.
By the All-Star break, the Tigers
were 11 games over .500 and only
five games out of the AL East lead.
On July 21, they moved into second,
and they were in the race for real.
The Tigers won five in a row from
Aug. 15-20 to take over first place
briefly, then finished the season by
winning five of six while Toronto
lost its last seven games of the sea
son.
Spurs relying on mixture
of youth and experience
to return to winning ways
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) —
The San Antonio Spurs are coming
off their worst season in the NBA
and aren’t picked to do well this
year, but that may be the team’s best
weapon for winning, Spurs coaches
and players say.
Second-year Coach Bob Weiss has
been concentrating on the funda
mentals and believes his team is
ahead of last year.
Veteran players dismiss the no
tion they will do poorly again this
year and are encouraged by the abi
lities of the younger athletes.
“I think our progress is good. I
think we’re ahead of where we were
last year, conditioning-wise, talent-
wise, everything,” Weiss said. “I
think a lot of people have improved.
I know our team has improved as a
unit.”
During training camp, Weiss said
stressing the fundamentals has
helped the team’s defensive play.
“I’m pretty happy with the way
things are going. We weren’t picked
to do very well, but I think we’ll sur
prise some people,” Weiss said.
The Spurs finished at 24-58 last
year and had the first pick of this
year’s NBA draft. They tabbed Navy
center David Robinson, but the 7-1
Robinson is spending the next two
years in the Navy.
Robinson has not made up his
mind about signing with San Anto
nio and debate around him has cen
tered on when the Spurs would lose
rights to him. Still, San Antonio is
doing all it can to lure him.
“We’re in negotiations. We’re talk
ing,” Spurs Chairman Angelo Dros-
sos said.
Robinson, management and play
ers said, would be the driving force
behind a new Spurs organization.
For now, however, the veterans
are helping some of the younger
players improve their skills.
Forward David Greenwood, a 6-9,
eight-year veteran, said the team has
improved dramatically in the past
few weeks.
“The kids are doing things that
they’re not supposed to be able to do
right now, especially in playing de
fense,” Greenwood said.
One of the younger players who
has impressed the veterans is 6-10
forward Greg “Cadillac” Anderson,
a second first-round pick from the
University of Houston.
“Cadillac looks real good. He’s out
there hustling. He’s out there play
ing hard,” Greenwood said. “There
are other kids who have come along,
but Cadillac is just more noticeable
because he dunks the ball a lot.”
Anderson said he is feeling com
fortable with the veterans and
doesn’t dwell on the prediction of
the team doing poorly.
“We can’t drop our heads because
of how they pick us to do,” Ander
son said.
Guard Johnny Moore, a 6-3,
seven-year veteran who is still fight
ing back from a bout with desert
fever two seasons ago, said the team
is doing well.
“You don’t want to peak too soon.
I’m not saying we’re peaking, but we
are making improvements every
day,” Moore said.
Moore, like team members,
doesn’t mind the Spurs’ doormat
image.
“I don’t mind the underdog role.
It may be to our benefit, even so.
People don’t expect us to do any
thing and if we play solid, we’ll have
the opportunity to win some games,”
Moore said.
