Giamatti chosen
to follow Ueberroth
MONTREAL (AP) — Angelo
Bartlett Giamatti, the National
League president, was named
Thursday as baseball’s next commis
sioner to succeed Peter Ueberroth,
who will end his term nine months
early to help the transition.
Giamatti was elected to a five-year
term by unanimous vote of the 26
team owners at their quarterly meet
ing. Giamatti, 50, will become the
game’s seventh commissioner when
he officially takes office April 1.
“My priorities are not too differ
ent than Peter Ueberroth’s,” Gia
matti said. “My first priority as com
missioner-elect will be finding the
best possible resolution to baseball’s
labor-relations problem.”
Ueberroth, who often said he
would be a one-term commissioner,
led the support for Giamatti and did
not want the selection process to
drag out. Ueberroth made his rec
ommendation at a morning meeting
and owners voted for Giamatti
“without a lot of discussion,” the
commissioner said.
“It’s obviously no surprise. While
investigating the role, the action to
day became very obvious,” Ueber
roth said. “He’s the right man for
the job.”
Giamatti and NL owners met
briefly Thursday to talk about a
Walker
method of choosing a new NL presi
dent. No names were discussed, al
though New York Mets general
manager Frank Cashen has been
mentioned previously.
Giamatti, president of Yale Uni
versity for eight years, earned a rep
utation as “the dean of discipline” in
two years as NL president. He sus
pended Pete Rose for 30 days this
season after the Cincinnati manager
bumped umpire Dave Pallone and
refused to bend to criticism and
pressure to lighten the sentence.
Last year, Giamatti suspended Ke
vin Gross for scuffing baseballs and
Billy Hatcher for corking a bat, in
sisting that order was necessary and
cheating was intolerable. Giamatti
was also said to be the driving force
behind this season’s enforcement of
balk rules, although he denies being
the main proponent.
He is committed to “social justice”
in baseball in areas of affirmative ac
tion and equal opportunity and is
concerned about maintaining a good
atmosphere at ballparks. He regards
himself as “tepid” on expansion —
whereas Ueberroth wanted it soon
— and does not agree with two re
cent decisions by arbitrators that
owners colluded to restrict the free-
agent market.
(Continued from page 9)
Houston has one of the top pitch
ing staffs in the majors and a good
defensive ballclub. The Astros are
also a speedy base-stealing team per
fectly designed for the Astrodome’s
cavernous field.
All this hasn’t been enough this
year.
Before the trading deadline of
September 1, the Astros found
themselves in a very tough position.
In order to acquire a top power
hitter they probably would have had
to give up one of their top pitchers.
The Houston fans would have been
critical of a trade involving one of
those guys.
As we know, the Astros chose the
path of least resistance and picked
up Forsch.
Forsch is a fine pitcher, but his
age is a big drawback. Regardless
how well he performs down the
stretch, the Astros probably will not
score enough runs to make a differ
ence.
As the old saying goes, “You get
what you pay for.” The Astros re
fused to pay for a quality power-hit-
ting free agent in the offseason and
refused to give up one of their better
players for a top player from an
other team.
The Dodgers paid for a contender
and got one. In August, Claire made
the decisive move of the season
when he sent Pedro Guerrero to the
Cardinals for left-handed pitcher
John Tudor.
With Fernando Valenzuela out
with an injury and the team in a hit
ting slump, Tudor and rookie sensa
tion Ramon Martinez, stabilized a
staff that was under tremendous
pressure as Houston drew to within
half a game of the lead in mid-Au
gust.
In the last 20 games, Los Angeles
has increased the lead over the As
tros despite hitting only .238 as a
team and averaging fewer than
three runs per game.
Only the inariility of the Astros to
have a consistent offensive attack has
prevented Houston from making a
legitimate run for the division title.
Now it’s too late.
Flashback
(Continued from page 10)
During Coach Emory Bellard’s
6V2 seasons at A&M, the Aggies
posted consecutive 1-1 records, then
ran off five straight 2-0 starts.
Furthermore, not all of Bellard’s
10 wins were at home or over “easy”
opponents.Included in those victo
ries were two over LSU (both in Ba
ton Rouge), inlcluding a 39-8 humil
iation of the Tigers in 1975.
Though Sherrill has won only one
opener — and it over “mighty”
Texas-El Paso 20-17 at home in 1984
— his teams had won six straight sec
ond games.
In fact, though A&M’s 1894 loss
to Texas was at Austin, the Aggies
didn’t open a season on the road un
til 1937 when it overcame a 7-0 defi
cit to defeat the Manhattan Jaspers
14-7 in the Polo Grounds.
Of the earlier 12 A&M teams that
opened 0-2, only three of them
posted winning records (1922, 1967
and 1979).
The latter two were involved in
SWC races and, believe it or not,
Stallings’ 1967 team won its final
seven games, including wins over
Arkansas (33-21), Texas (10-7) and
Alabama (20-16 in the Cotton Bowl).
