Fielder, Sandberg top 1990 AP
baseball all-star team list
NEW YORK (AP) — Cecil
Fielder, the first major-leaguer in 13
years to break the 50-home run bar
rier, and Ryne Sandberg, only the
third second baseman ever to hit 40,
top a power-laden 1990 Associated
Press baseball all-star team.
The 12-man team, selected in a
nationwide vote of sports writers
and broadcasters and based only on
regular-season performances, is
evenly divided with six National
Leaguers and six American
Leaguers.
Three teams had two players each
— the Pittsburgh Pirates’ dynamic
outfield duo of Barry Bonds and
Bobby Bonilla, the Chicago White
Sox’s battery of catcher Carlton Fisk
and relief pitcher Bobby Thigpen,
and Oakland Athletics outfielder
Rickey Henderson and right-
handed pitcher Bob Welch.
The team averaged almost 29
home runs, ranging from Fielder’s
51 for the Detroit Tigers to Barry
Larkin’s seven for the World Series
champion Cincinnati Reds.
Sandberg led the NL in home
runs with 40 for the Chicago Cubs
and was the leading vote-getter with
165, only three shy of being unani
mous. He and Milwaukee Brewers
designated hitter Dave Parker were
the only repeaters from last year.
Fielder led the majors with 51
homers and was an overwhelming
selection at first base, receiving 130
votes to 16 for runnerup Eddie Mur
ray of the Los Angeles Dodgers and
13 for AL batting champion George
Brett of the Kansas City Royals.
Fielder also had 26 votes for desig
nated hitter, third behind Parker’s
78 and Brett’s 33.
Bonds and Bonilla, who finished
second and third in the outfield vot
ing, each hit more than 30 homers,
drove in more than 100 runs and
scored more than 100 runs in lead
ing the Pirates to the NL East title.
Henderson was the top vote-getter
in the outfield with 158 votes, while
Bonds had 157 and Bonilla 68.
Completing the team are San
Francisco’s Matt Williams at third
base and the New York Mets’ Frank
Viola as the left-handed pitcher.
Sandberg was named to the team
for the third consecutive year and
the fourth time in five years, and
Parker was chosen for the second
year in a row. The closest vote was

Pacers rally past Rockets
139-121 in exhibition game
KITCHENER, Ontario (AP) —
Detlef Schrempf had 29 points and
10 rebounds, and George McCloud
keyed a late rally as the Indiana
Pacers defeated the Houston Rock
ets 139-121 in an NBA exhibition
game Tuesday night.
McCloud scored six of his 14
points in the final 29 seconds of the
third quarter, when the Pacers took
the lead for good. Houston led 98-
94 before McCloud hit a jumper and
a free throw, then stole an inbounds
pass and buried a 3-point shot with
one second left in the period for a

much of the Baylor game, is unex
pected.
Some are even comparing this
year’s squad to the Aggie teams of
the late 1970s that didn’t know how
to win important games. This team is
too talented to be wallow ing in medi
ocrity, yet it is doing so at all confer
ence levels.
And yet, it’s the coaching staff
that is coming under a lot of fire
from many die-hard fans. Should
they be pumping the team up, get
ting on their butts with more inten
sity and fire?
I believe the young men that have
the chance to go on and play college
football are doing so for their own
reasons. And if one of those reasons
isn’t to be a winner, there is little a
coach can do to motivate them.
Many of the gripes have been
aimed at offensive coordinator Bob
Toledo —especially since the LSU
game. But Bob is not the one fum
bling the ball away and throwing the
kind of interceptions Bob’s wife
could throw.
In defense of Toledo (pretty risky
ground for me, considering I’m still
not convinced of his capabilities), he
hasn’t had a lot of opportunity to do
much of anything with his offense in
the second halves.
That’s because the once-revered
Wrecking Crew defense has allowed
other offenses to become Racking
Crews ... rolling up yards, eating up
second-half minutes and keeping
the Aggie offense off the field.
Bucky Richardson is an option
quarterback who is improving his
passing capability. Although Lance
Pavlas is supposed to have the
stronger throwing arm, his release is
nothing like that of Kevin Murray or
Gary Kubiak. Bucky gets lucky too
often and Lance gets read too easily.
At the college level, coaches are
there to help instill in the players a
sense of execution and improve
their ability to adapt to certain situa
tions and circumstances.
On the major college level it takes
a lot of heart, desire and good, old-
fashioned execution to win in front

Going into the Baylor game, the
Aggies controlled their own desliny.
Even if they had been blown out by
Houston or lost by one point, they
still controlled their destiny. But you
didn’t get the impression they en
joyed the control of their own fate in
last weekend’s game.
And even if they come out like
world-beaters against Rice and say,
“See, our offense and defense are
capable of playing four quarters of
good football,” they still must rely on
other teams to help write their script
for post-season play.
And unless the Aggie players talk
to each other and recommit them
selves to playing hard-nosed,
inspired football this week, the Ag
gies will just be another building
block in the revitilization of the Rice
Owl football program.
Texas football
player arrested
AUSTIN (AP) — A third,
string offensive tackle on the
13th-ranked University of Texas
football team surrendered topth
lice Tuesday af ter an arrest war
rant was issued alleging he was a
possession of a controlled sub
stance.
Alan Luther, 21, a sophomore
from Houston, posted a $5®
hail.
Police said the controlled sub
stance was an anabolic steroid,
the Austin American-Statesman
reported.
The charge, a Class B misde
meanor, cat ries penalties of upto
six months in jail and a $1,(!
fine.
Luther declined comment
about the incident when released
Tuesday night.
T exas football Coach David
McWilliams said after practice
Tuesday that he knew Luther
had been arrested but did not
know it was for possession of ster
oids.
“1 knew it was for a controlled
substance, but there are a lotol
those,” McWilliams said.

Del -oss Dodds said he felt confi
dent that steroid use is not a
team-wide problem.

them,” he said. “They’re playinga
lot of the same players they had a
year ago and that experience factor
is showing. They’re a scrappy bund
that’s playing with a bunch of coafr
dence.”
Not quite ready to throw in the
towel, Slocum added that there it
still a lot of football to be played
that he is confident in his team’s
ity to turn things around.
“It’s never as good as it appears
and it’s never as bad as it seems,'
cum said. “We’ve just got to keepthe
big picture in mind.
“There are a lot of teams an
the country in the same situation
we’re in, so I’m not ready to go and
jump off a cliff. We’ve just gouo im
prove on our level of play.”

against Baylor, and an apparent
touchdown turned into an intercep

“Bucky has to learn that
overthrow a short pass, and yo»
don’t underthrow a long one,” Td
ledo said. “He’s not a total quar
terback yet because he doesn’t un
derstand those things. If he is too
tight, often it’s because he’s confused
about whether to run or throw lit
football.
“If you’re going to be a passer
throw the football. But it’s like Itel
him: if guys are covered, run,-f

incomplete passes, and he’s

Such is the knock on A&M
