Cubs sign Rangers' Guzman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO- The Chicago
Cubs on Tuesday signed free-
agent pitcher Jose Guzman to a
$14.35 million, four-year contract
and waved good-bye to Cy Young
winner Greg Maddux.
Guzman was 16-11 for the
Texas Rangers last season and
Cubs general manager Larry
Himes said he will be getting his
money's worth if the 29-year-old
right-hander does as well next
year.
Despite the price tag on Guz
man, the Cubs are saving a bun
dle by giving up Maddux, who
turned down a five-year, $29 mil
lion package after a 20-11 season
and a sparkling 2.18 ERA.
"This ends our relationship of
going after Greg Maddux, as far
as I know," Himes said at a news
conference. "Our offer is off the
table."
Guzman, who has spent his en
tire career with the Rangers, had
two strong years after missing the
1989 season with a torn rotator
cuff and spending 1990 in the mi
nors on injury rehabilitation as
signments. He made his major-
league debut with the Rangers in
September 1985.
He went 13-7 with a 3.08 ERA
in 1991 and had a 3.66 ERA to go
with his 16-11 record last season.
Guzman's agent, Barry Meis-
ter, said the Cubs were among
four teams going after the free
agent, who made $1,465,000 last
season.
The Rangers had refused to go
beyond a three-year offer report
edly worth about $9 million.
Texas general manager Tom
Grieve said he thought the
Rangers' offer "was in the ball
park, but it obviously wasn't good
enough. Maybe it was in the
bleachers and they were at second
base."
Guzman said he received high
er offers, including one from the
New York Yankees, than he
agreed to with the Cubs.
In a conference call with re
porters, he said he chose Chicago
"because it is one team I have al
ways liked."
He called the Cubs "a team
with a good future, and it can be a
great team this year and years to
come."
Guzman said that as a ground
ball pitcher he will benefit from
Wrigley Field's grass playing field
that's cut on the long side.
He said he can do better than
his 16-11 record last season.
"I had seven games that were
blown saves," he said. "The Cubs
have a good defense, and that's
something I didn't have with the
Rangers. I think I can win be
tween 15 and 20 games."
Solari
Continued From Page 7
Solari's opportunity to show
his abilities came at the expense of
fellow outside linebacker Otis
Nealy, a senior. This could have
lead to friction between the two
since this was Nealy's last season
on the A&M football team, but So
lari said just the opposite is true.
"As a matter of fact, I can't
keep Otis out of my room," Solari
said. "I think it brought us closer
together as friends this year be
cause we just left what happened
on the field.
"We talked about me taking his
job. I told him that last year he
was a better player and he de
served to play.
"He told me I was the best
player this year, and I deserved to
play. Everything worked out for
the best."
Texas A&M fans would have a
hard time disagreeing with that.

and painted horns on the field,
which, as everyone now knows,
had disappeared somewhat mys
teriously a week before the A&M
game.
As the story continued, appar
ently these same band members
tried to "remove" the horns from
Bevo by scuffing off the paint
with their boots.
Where do we find these id
iots?
The turf they were attempting
to damage was in MEMORIAL
Stadium.
That's right. Memorial. You
know, like our Student Center.
The playing field and the sta
dium that surrounds it in Austin
were built and named in honor of
all those brave Texas alumni who
made the ultimate sacrifice for
their country and its honor.
What the members of the
A&M band attempted to do was
nothing short of disgraceful,
without honor and cowardly at
best, and if they want to disagree
with me, they can do so in per
son.
One Texas alum made a com
ment that no one could hear and
still take pride in his or her
school at that moment. The
worst part was, his statement
was true.
What he said cut like a knife,
so much so that I wrote it down.
"You Aggies seem to think
that your field is sacred, but no
body else's is," said Jerry Scar
brough, editor-publisher of True
Orange, a newsletter dealing
specifically with Longhorn ath
letics. "Well, that field is sacred
to me, and at least half of this
crowd."
If that wasn't enough, the
band was further disgraced when
seven members refused to play
with the Texas "Showband of the
Southwest" during halftime.
It should have been consid
ered an honor to share the field
with Texas' band in what was the
centennial celebration of football
at the Austin school.
Once again, members of the
Aggie Band proved to be without
honor.
A friend of mine told me that
some members of Texas' band
were no more excited to share
their field than our band mem
bers were, but they acted with
dignity and respect and played
anyway.
It's a very sad day when t-sips
show more class than we do, es
pecially by such a,wide margin.
Tne final indignity occurred
again at midfield just after the
game had ended. Some overexu-
berent football players "per
formed" some sort of victory
dance in the middle of the field
as time ran out, flaunting nothing
better than horrible dance moves.
Most Aggies don't enjoy see
ing their head coach humbly
apologizing to another coach for
the conduct of a few players on
what should be the proudest
night of his professional career
You could hear R.C. Slocum
chewing out his team from out
side the locker room when the
game was finished. What a pity.
There is a time to dance on the
supposed grave of the Longhorns
if you are an Aggie, but this year
was not it. In fact, the only timel
can see it being worthwhile will
be in the year 2026.
That is, if we don't lose a sin
gle game to them in all the years
in between; because if we do wii
the next 34 straight, in 2026 we
will finally pull even with them
in the all-time series.
That's right, they lead us64-
30-5, and yes, that does include
us winning eight of the last nine
Dance on that.
