Bass, the first of the 90 free agents to switch teams, said a no-trade clause and the “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity to play for both a pen nant-winner and his hometown team were the main reasons he chose the Giants over the Astros. He also is re joining Giants president and general manager Al Rosen, who traded for Bass when he ran Houston. The Giants had never before given a player a no-trade clause; Houston, where he played for seven years, would not one. Bass, who lives in nearby Red wood City, already has been told that Manager Roger Craig will bat him second in the Giants’ lineup between Brett Butler and Will Clark. “Look who Fm hitting in front of,” Bass said by telephone from his home in Texas, referring to the Gi ants’ 3-4-5 trio of Clark, Kevin Mitchell and Matt Williams. “Hey, there won’t be any attention on me. The attention’s going to be on Brett being on first base and Will hitting behind me.” Bass, 30, is a career .275 hitter with 78 home runs and 111 stolen bases in seven major-league seasons. He will get $1.75 million in each of the next three seasons. A portion of his 1990 salary will be paid up front as a signing bonus, but the amount has not been determined. “Kevin Bass is an outstanding ad dition to our ballclub,” Rosen said. “He’s an excellent right fielder who can contribute both at the plate and in the field. He can hit for average and power, he can drive in runs and he can run the bases. We think he’ll fit perfectly right into the heart of our lineup.” Bass hit .300 with five home runs and 44 runs batted in in 1989, miss ing 10 weeks due to a broken right tibia. The previous year, he hit .255 with 14 homers, 72 RBIs and a ca reer-best 31 stolen bases. His best season was 1986, when he hit .311 with 20 homers, both career highs, drove in 79 runs and stole 22 bases. Any combination of those num bers would represent a big im provement for the Giants over the failed 1989 combination of Candy Maldonado, Pat Sheridan and Do- nell Nixon, who combined to hit .226 with 13 homers and 70 RBIs. Bass’ name had come up fre quently in trade rumors, but Astros general manager Bill Wood said the team wanted to re-sign him. ‘Our efforts to re-sign him were honest, but a major stumbling block to a new contract was his reguest for a no-trade clause,” Wood said. “The Houston club is opposed to granting such a clause, prior to a player earn ing the right on his own, via the 10- and-5 rule.” Rosen said he has changed his thinking on the no-trade clause be cause of the realities of today’s mar ket, and in any case fully expects Bass to be a productive player with the Giants for at least three years. “I’m a great believer in chemistry on a ballclub,” said Rosen, who has known Bass since he was a minor- leaguer. “He plays hard, he plays ev ery day, he gives you everything he’s got. He’s a fine person, and I know he’ll fit in great with this club.” Bass originally signed with the Milwaukee Brewers as their second pick in the June 1977 draft. He played in 18 games for the Brewers in 1982, going hitless in nine at-bats, and was traded to Houston on Sept. 3 of that year with Mike Madden and Frank DiPino as players to be named later in the Aug. 30 deal for Don Sutton. Bass took over the Astros’ starting right-field job in 1986, making the NL All-Star team and finishing sev enth in the Most Valuable Player bal loting. He said Montreal, Cleveland, De troit and Milwaukee all expressed in terest in him, but his top choices were San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles. Rosen moved the quickest of anyone once he became available. “About 85 to 90 percent of it was Rosen,” he said. “I looked at that bal lclub and. said, ‘Golly, if those guys can’t win, who can?’” Rosen, meanwhile, ruled out the possibility of the Giants joining the high-priced bidding for free-agent left-handed pitcher Mark Langston, although he said they might pursue another pitcher. “The dollars involved (in signing Langston) have a way of magnifying things on our ballclub that I don’t want to get into,” he said. Ware not apologizing for UH offense’s output HOUSTON (AP) — Andre Ware makes no apologies for the awesome power of 13th-ranked Houston’s run-and-shoot offense. “It’s our philosophy here, we put points on the board,” Ware said. “You can’t ask guys to go out and fall on their faces.” Ware set several NCAA records in a 95-21 victory over Southern Meth odist and the Cougars were criticized for running up the score. Top-ranked Notre Dame beat SMU 59-6, holding down the score by refusing penalties and running out of bounds. Ware said such tactics were em barrassing to SMU. “That’s humiliating to SMU,” Ware said. “I heard a comment from an SMU guy on defense who said they felt like they played a football game after they played us. “When they played Notre Dame, they never got a chance because the Irish weren’t taking penalties and stepping out of bounds and stuff like that. That’s not football.” Only Texas A&M has stilled' Houston’s pass-oriented offense. “It’s a wide open attack,” Ware said. “You can’t ask the quarterback not to throw the ball. You can’t ask guys that work hard all week and ex pect to play a game to go out there and do something like that.” With games remaining against Texas Tech and Rice, Ware has completed 292 of 464 attempts for 3,824 yards and 40 touchdowns, leading the Cougars to a 7-2 record. While Ware is being considered for several post-season individual honors, coach Jack Pardee is very emphatic about his quarterback’s tal ents. “They started pumping up the Lootuall a long time ago and he s done things that no other quar terback has ever done,” Pardee said. “I’ve played with Sonny Jurgen- sen and Roman Gabriel. I’ve been around the greatest quarterbacks who have ever been in the game, and Andre has the right throwing touch.” Ware has six games of 400 or more total yards, tying him with Jim McMahon of Brigham Young for the NCAA record. Ware has the national record of 340 yards in one quarter, 517 yards in a half, five touchdown passes in a quarter 1,430 yards in three consec utive games, 1,820 yards in four con secutive games and a 179.4 effi ciency rating for a single game. He completed 76 passes against Arkansas and Texas Christian, tying the record for most passes com pleted in consecutive games. His records aren’t merely a by product of the Cougars’ run-and- shoot offense, Pardee says. “You can’t just plug in anybody and get that kind of output,” Pardee said. Ware says the offense helps him exploit his talents. “A lot of teams have tried to du- licate what we’re doing here and ave not had as much success,” Ware said. “So I can’t say it’s the system but a combination of myself and the system.” Houston is on NCAA probation, which includes a ban on television appearances this season. It could have an affect on voting for post-sea- son honors, Ware said. “We weren’t on television all year and people wanted to know more about us,” Ware said. “So they got down here and they saw the clips on television stations. Lady Longhorns hold off Aussie women’s team AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Sopho more Vicki Hall scored the final six points for Texas as the Lady Long horns came from behind to defeat the Australian National team 61-59 Thursday night in an exhibition women’s college basketball game.
