Toronto evens
up AL series
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO — Now everyone
knows why the Toronto Blue Jays
wanted David Cone so much this
year, and why everybody else will
want him even more next year.
Cone, acquired cheaply from
the New York Mets in late Au
gust, paid off in a big way Thurs
day night. He shut down Oakland
for eight innings, and pitched the
Blue Jays to a 3-1 victory that
evened the AL playoffs at one
game each.
Kelly Gruber's two-run homer
off Mike Moore in the fifth inning
broke open a scoreless game. It
also provided the latest bang in a
series of bruising blows — all but
three of the 11 runs so far have
scored on homers.

Although Texas enters the
game at 2-2 and Oklahoma at 3-1,
records are thrown out for this
game. Player's careers can be
made or broken in this battle.
Gardere, for one, endeared
himself to Texas fans in 1989
when he took the Longhorns 66
yards in seven plays, throwing a
touchdown pass to Johnny Walk
er with only 1:33 left in the con
test.
Texas won, 24-21. Gardere
was anointed the second coming
of Bobby Layne. He was touted
as the man to bring the Long
horns out of their Cotton Bowl
drought, and was nicknamed Pe
ter the Great by overzealous
Longhorn backers.
Times have changed for
Gardere. The cheers have since
turned to jeers. But he will al
ways be remembered in Texas-
OU lore.
Oklahoma quarterback Cale
Gundy is in the opposite boat of
Gardere. He has not produced a
victory against the hated 'Horns.
His record is a detestable 0-2.
The first race on Sunday will be
the five-lap Monster Bike
Shootout, followed by the Harley-
Davidson TwinSports race.
After the H-D race comes the
600 SuperSport race, and then the
Many other Sooner quarterbacks
have been persecuted for less.
Gundy said this past week
that he does not feel like he will
ever be accepted by the Sooner
fans until he provides a victory
over the 'Homs.
Boomer Sooner followers have
come up to Gundy in droves this
year begging him for just one
win this season. Over Texas.
Is that pressure? Oklahoma
could go 1-10 this season and the
fans would be satisfied as long as
that win came over Texas.
Would fans be happy with a
one-victory season? Probably
not, but the undertones are evi
dent.
A win by either program
makes that team's year. No mat
ter how bad or good things get at
Texas or Oklahoma, a win in this
epic showdown is the apex of the
season.
The 1989 game is a perfect ex
ample. Texas lost for the sixth
straight time to Texas A&M that
same season but Longhorn faith
ful eased their disappointment as
they pointed to the thrilling vic
tory over Oklahoma.
This year's edition could gar
ner some respect for the SWC.
Oklahoma is a ranked team and
the conference could sorely use
some victories over ranked
250 Grand Prix.
