Plano Rangers?
Irving, Plano looking to join
list of cities courting Rangers
ARLINGTON (AP) — Plano and
Irving may join the list of Dallas-Fort
Worth area cities that want to be the
home of the Texas Rangers.
“If they’re taking proposals, we’ll
be there,” Plano Mayor Jack Har
vard said of the Rangers. “We
haven’t done anything yet, but we’ll
have something ready.”
But the mayor of Arlington, the
city halfway between Dallas and Fort
Worth where the American League
team now plays, says neither Plano
nor Irving is a viable alternative.
Mayor Richard Greene said
Plano, located 20 miles north of
downtown Dallas, is too far from the
middle of the metropolitan area and
Irving suffers because beer sales are
prohibited in its stadiums, including
Texas Stadium, home of the Dallas
Cowboys.
Greene and other Arlington lead
ers have offered to build a 50,200-
seat stadium on the parking lot adja
cent to the Rangers’ current ball
park, Arlington Stadium.
“I think Richard Greene has of
fered the Rangers a package that
can’t be beat anywhere else,” said Ir
ving Mayor Bob Pierce, adding his

Baseball pays tribute to
Giamatti in ceremony
*
NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball said
goodbye to A. Bartlett Giamatti
Wednesday with cracking voices and
glistening eyes as speaker after
speaker extolled the late commis
sioner’s association with the game he
loved.
An audience of owners, general
managers, scouts, agents, lawyers,
arbitrators and television executives
filled Carnegie Hall for the 90-min
ute program, called “A Celebration
of Bart Giamatti and Baseball.”
“To me, he was the noblest of
them all,” Commissioner Fay Vin
cent said, using words from Shake
speare as his voice choked with emo
tion. “Bravo, noble Bart, and
goodbye.”

Giamatti died of a heart attack
Sept. 1 at his summer home in Ed-
gartown, Mass., just five months af
ter becoming commissioner and
eight days after banning Pete Rose
from baseball. Giamatti’s son, Mar
cus, was the most eloquent of the
speakers.
“This is the last pure place where
Americans can dream,” he said,
quoting what his father told him at a
Yankese-Red Sox game last summer.
“Each contest gives new hope. This
is the last, great arena. This is 1 ®
last green arena where even*'
can earn t he lessons of life....
“Through the game, he sough]
bring some means of enlightenn4
to a darkening world.”
Broadcaster Joe Garagiola,
ers Claire Smith and Roger Anf
and Milwaukee Brewers ownert-
Selig also spoke at the tribute !
ing them on stage were Amer?
League president Bobby Brown,’
tional League president Bill#
Yale president Benno C.
Jr., DiMaggio and Doerr.
Selig quoted from Giantf
statement on the day the coiw
sioner threw Rose out of baseball
“I believe baseball is a beaij
and exciting game, loved by mil-
— I among them — and 1 beb;
baseball is an important, endurP
American institution,” Giamattisf
“I will be told that I am an ideafe
hope so. I will continue tolocateb
als I hold for myself and for'
country in the national gameas 1 ^
as in other of our national ins»T
tions.”
Selig’s eyes then got misty.
“It was an endearing lessor
morality and sensibility,” he said
proud day for baseball.”
