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.

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.
