Sports Take me out to the ballgame make a break from football Well, it’s starting al ready. Football, I mean. Seems like every year it gets earlier. Before you know it, it’ll be preseason in April. Kinda like the days of the good old USFL. I know you miss that as much as I do. The real pity of the matter is that our society, and particularly our state, gets so enthralled with the advent of the real sports season, we forget that another sea son is reaching the peak of its excitement instead of going through the bumblings and stumblings generally associated with preseason football. Of course, I have reference to major league baseball. You know, the game with the little ball with red seams? Monday night I had the pleasure of going to see the Astros in the Dome. I hadn’t been in a couple of years, and I wasn’t going to have an other chance this year in all probability. Why not get back in touch with America’s favorite pas time, I asked myself. It was all still there: the drama, the excitement, the fan interaction, all of it. Just like when I went to see them after exhausting afternoons at Astro- world as a kid. I and some friends got seats right behind the plate — once a year, why not splurge? Dinner was the traditional stadium hot dog and Coke. (I don’t drink beer.) Baseball is just different from other sports. I’m not saying it’s better. I’m saying it’s different. And I like the differences. The casualness, for lack of a better term, is re- freshiner. Sure, it’s nice to get all riled up at a football game, but frequent visitors to Olsen Field will back me up when I say there is a time for watching healthy competition in a laid-back at mosphere. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like it’s easier to involve myself in my neighbor’s conversations at a baseball game. My friends and I had some good conversations with a friendly gentleman in front )f us about Enos Cabell, the answer to the eve- ling’s trivia question, and various other topics. Cabell, a former ’Stro, was the worst player in the history of the franchise, this man informed us with little hesitation. But that’s the kind of person you meet at a baseball game. I don’t mean opinionated, al though they can be that way; I mean people friendly enough to include total strangers in their entertainment of the evening. Some people get bored at the lack of constant action on a baseball field; I rather enjoy it. It gives the fan more time to analyze the game, make comments, get refreshments, and lower his blood pressure. The slow-paced nature of the game allows fans to pick the game apart detail by detail if they choose. Or they can give token attention to it while conducting business or having an impor tant conversation, and still be able to catch the big plays and enjoy the action. I suppose the casual nature of the game stems in part from the non-critical nature of each en counter. After all, big hairy deal if the home team reeks from time to time. The old cliche, “There’s always tomorrow,” is going to apply 161 times every year. That, of course, results in better sports manship in the stands and on the field — some thing that’s all too rare in our competitive society. The attitude of “It’s only a game” will be seen much more frequently at a baseball game than at practically any other sporting event. And after all, it is only a game. LA gets Tudor frop Cardinals ST. LOUIS (AP) — The run-starved St. Louis Cardinals acquired slugger Pedro Guerrero from Los Angeles on Tuesday in a one-for-one deal I that sent pitching ace John Tudor to the Dodg I ers. “Basically, it’s a premier pitcher fora premier | hitter,” Cardinals Manager Whitey Herzog said [ after the trade was completed. Tudor, 34, is 50-24 in S'A seasons with the j Cardinals and 101 -65 in his 10 seasons in the ma | jor leagues. In 1985, he was 21-8 and led the Car- [ dinals to the National League pennant. This sea- | son he is 6-5 with a league-leading 2.29 earned [ run average. “A lot of days John went out there whenhel wasn’t really 100 percent,” Herzog said. “Heal-1 ways took the baseball. It really was a pleasureto [ manage him. You hate to lose a guy like that." Guerrero, 32, has a .309 career batting aver-j age. He has missed 59 games this season because | of a pinched nerve in his neck and is hitting ,298, I hut with only five home runs and 35 runs batted in. “In Pedro Guerrero, we feel that we havea proven run producer,” Maxvill said. “Guerrero has led the Dodgers to three divisional titles and | has been a consistent .300 hitter throughout his career. We think that he’ll be a big asset toout j lineup for years to come. Los Angeles General Manager Fred Claire said I See Trade, page 9 Hal L. Hammons Sports viewpoint Tech a wreck? Dykes deals with loss of 11 starters LUBBOCK (AP) — After losing 11 starters last season, more than any Southwest Conference team, Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes was scared. Beginning spring practice, he was left with a depleted corps of line backers, no cornerbacks and vir tually no offensive line. “A big priority we have at Tech due to lack of depth is to get our best players on the field all the time,” said Dykes, in his second year as Red Raider head coach. To do that, 16 Tech players changed positions, including eight who moved to the opposite side of the line of scrimmage. “Depth is something that sort of is matter-of-fact to some teams,” Dykes said. “Right now we’re in a position where we have so little depth in cer tain areas that it’s sort of scary.” Dykes helped shore up the line backer position, which lost All-SWC selection Michael Johnson among others, by moving fullback Isaac Garnett to that slot. Garnett did well enough to earn a spot on the two- deep chart. James Mosley also shifted from defensive end to linebacker, and Charles Lott made the move from fullback to tight end. “Hopefully the vaccination took,” Dykes said. “We’ll certainly know more about it after the first ball game.” At cornerback, senior Dean Maru- sak will move up from his backup position to start, along with sopho more walk-on Quinton Rhodes. For the array of newcomers on the offensive line, just getting spring playing time under their belts was an accomplishment. “Right now we’re talking about to tal unknowns,” Dykes said. Junior Charles Odiorne is the line’s only returning starter, but he was injured during the spring. “We’ve very un-deep,” said Dykes. “Our starting offensive line, as of the end of spring training, has all played. Nobody behind them has played any.” Dykes can breathe a lot easier about the rest of the offense. Tech’s diminutive trio of senior wide receivers, Tyrone Thurman, Eddy Anderson and Wayne Walker, will be even stronger, Dykes said. “They’re a year older, a year more mature,” he said. “They’re bigger, stronger and faster, so they’ll be bet ter. We’ll be very disappointed if they’re not.” Walker was all-conference and led the SWC in yards per catch with 20.6, while Anderson was No. 2 in that category. On the ground, Tech’s attack will be led by junior I-back James Gray, who finished third in league rushing with a 91.5-yard average. All-SWC quarterback Billy Joe Tolliver also returns, this time as a new father. His wife Sheila gave birth to a son earlier this month. “We feel like he’s got a chance to be the premier quarterback in this part of the country,” Dykes said. Last season Tolliver passed for 1,422 yards and 7 touchdowns, now lacking only 801 yards to become the Red Raiders’ career passing leader. His backup has yet to be chosen but probably will come from a group of redshirt freshmen. “Needless to say, it will be interest ing to see what develops,” Dykes said. With the depth problem, staying free of injuries is key for the Red Raiders, especially at quarterback. Kimball ‘won’t give up’ because of charges INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Diver Bruce Kimball said Tuesday he would compete in the U.S. Diving Championships at Indianapolis. “I can’t give up and I won’t give up,” said Kimball, who faces alcohol- related manslaughter charges in Florida. Kimball’s car crashed into a crowd at a popular teen-age hangout on Aug 1. in Brandon, Fla., leaving two dead and six injured, authorities said. Flanked by his family, Kimball oc casionally was near tears and his hands shook as he read a prepared statement. “I’ve dealt with adversity in my life. I won’t give up and I don’t give up. I can’t live with myself if I do,” he said. Kimball refused to answer ques tions or elaborate on the statement, on the advice of his attorney. Kimball said he came to Indianap olis “to help me get from one day to the next.” “Diving is my work,” said Kimball, who won the silver medal in plat form diving during the 1984 Olym pic Games in Los Angeles. Kimball made the announcement during an afternoon news confer ence on the Indiana University-Pur- due University at Indianapolis cam pus, where the U.S. Olympic diving trials will be conducted Wednesday through Sunday. Kimball, whom many consider second only to two-time Olympic gold medalist Greg Louganis in plat form diving, was charged Monday in Tampa, Fla. Authorities said he could face up to 45 years in prison if convicted on all five felony charges. Major League Baseball Coleman, Terry highlight Card shutout of Astros ST.
