Carver started to talk about
Brooklyn catcher Roy Cam-
panella, it brought back a lit
tle nostalgia and began my
first history lesson.
"Back in Caro, the
sawmill across from the
house had a baseball team
that your Uncle Raymond
used to play for, and they
had an awesome catcher. He
had the best arm I've ever
seen. He could throw out
any baserunner trying to
steal on him even though he
was sitting down. Kind of
the Tony Pena before his
time. I loved just to go play
catch with them."
Thousands of times we
had drove by the old
sawmill, but that was the
first time he'd ever men
tioned something about a
baseball team. Then, a quick
flash into the Reds' dugout,
where the cameras caught a
glimpse of manager Tony
Perez, a former member of
the Big Red Machine. My
second history lesson.
"Those Reds teams back
then were probably the
greatest of all time. Having
all those great players on the
same team is just incredible.
Bench catching, an infield
with Perez, Morgan, Concep
cion and Rose is just awe
some. Then they had Grif
fey, Geronimo, and ... and ...
well anyway, their right-
fielder must not have been
too good if I can't remember
him. The sad thing about it
is Sparky Anderson thinks
he made that bunch of guys
into winners. I could've
have coached that team."
The game soon ended, so
we were forced to change to
the start of the Phillies-Cubs
game. It didn't take long for
Cubs announcer Harry
Garay to start butchering
everything he said. I believe
he had the most trouble with
the name Dwight Smith.
"I don't see how these
Cub fans can stand to listen
to Harry announce the game,
because he sure ain't watch-
ing-fhe same game we are. I
think he might be getting a
little too old for his announc
ing game"
"Maybe he's drunk," I
said, noticing that every
word was becoming progres
sively worse.
"He might be. I don't see
what keeps Steve Stone from
laughing at him. Some of
the things he says are so stu
pid. Stone has to be cracking
up."
The afternoon soon ended
with a couple more history
lessons and some observa
tions about baseball in gen
eral. As I got up off of the
couch to get ready for the
movies, I realized that every
thing he said I was going to
remember for the rest of my
life.
He gave me a part of his
history and added it to mine,
and the best part was we
didn't even fight over the re
mote control.

Niners throw curve in Montana negotiations
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO - The Joe
Montana Sweepstakes took anoth
er strange turn Sunday when the
president of the San Francisco
49ers said the quarterback could
be the team's "aesignated starter"
while competing with Steve
Young.
The unusual development
Bears

"We could've folded our tent
because we didn't look good our
first game," Johnson said.
"It's one thing to get beat 10-9
because everyone feels aggressive
and strong, but when you are not
getting the ball in play you have a
tendency to slack up. The two-out
rally was a breath of fresh air - we
hadn't had too much of that go
ing," he said.
After Baylor's pitchers baffled
the A&M hitters for the first two
games and half of the third, the
Aggies finally broke through in
the fifth, sending eleven men to
the plate and Baylor pitcher Jason
Rathbun to the showers.
After squandering two-out op
portunities in the first, third and
fourth innings, the Aggies started
the rally off on third baseman Lee
Fedora's run-scoring single and
first baseman John Curl's two-run
double.
After A&M knocked Rathbun
out with five runs charged to him,
they got two runs charged to
Bears reliever Aaron Richards,
and picked up two more runs in
the sixth and seventh off subse
quent relievers Jeff Martin and
Jeff Thomas.
Fedora said Baylor threw the
ball well against A&M, but said
A&M was slow to adjust.
"They were bringing the ball
good, keeping us off-balance," Fe
dora said.
"A lot of people were guessing
trying to figure out if they were
came a day after Montana had
reached a contract agreement with
Kansas City. The 49ers, however,
were unable to work out sufficent
compensation with the Chiefs and
the aeal was put on hold.
Montana and 49ers owner Ed
DeBartolo Jr., met in Youngstown,
Ohio, and were expected to return
to San Francisco on Sunday. Mon
tana could announce as early as
oing tn throw the fastball, curve-
all or changeup."
Johnson said that the A&M
batters didn't adjust to the break
ing pitches thrown by the Baylor
hurlers in critical conditions when
the batters got ahead of the count.
"You can't just sit on a fastball
and have a pretty good guess
what they're going to do," John
son said.
"(The Baylor pitchers) are dif
ferent types of pitchers, not just
total power pitchers. They had a
lot of breaking stuff and threw it
behind in the count, and we saw
some 3-2 sliders."
Wunsch, after allowing a two-
run first, shut the Bears down the
rest of the way, striking out
twelve and scattering five hits.
Wunsch said the game was a
typical outing for him - starting
slow, but finishing strong.
"I start out a little slow in the
first inning, then I go strong for
the next four or five, and then in
the sixth or seventh it seems
there's a little hump," Wunsch
said.
"The seventh, eighth and ninth
- they seem like they coast for me.
I guess it's like seeing the light at
the end of the tunnel.
Friday night, A&M's Trey
Moore threw a five-hitter as the
Aggies won 1-0 after pinch-run
ner David Martin scored an un
earned run in the top of the ninth
at Baylor's Ferrell Field.
Saturday, the Aggies got a les
son in turnabout being fair play,
as Jeff Granger pitched a complete
seven-inning game only to lose by
one unearned run.
After two errors in one play by
A&M's Fedora and Billy Harlan
Monday if the new 49ers' new
proposal was acceptable.
'*He does have other deals,"
49ers president Carmen Policy
said Sunday of Montana, who led
the 49ers to four NFL titles bul
played only 30 minutes during
the last two seasons because of el
bow problems. "Perhaps he might
feel that the situation would oe
less complicated elsewhere."
in the sixth inning, Baylor's Jason
Marshall scored from first base.
Due to a stomach virus,
Granger started a day late Satur
day after he could not travel with
the team to Friday's game in
Waco. Johnson said despite a
drop in velocity. Granger pitched
a good game and had good com
mand of his pitches.
"He didn't have the velocity,
but that didn't matter," Johnson
said.
"We made a defensive mistake
and it hurt us, but that's the way
it is in those close ball games-
you mess up one play and it costs
you a ball game."
Grangef said that the team
would havf£ to remain conscious
of the need to keep improving.
"I think this weekend proves to
our hitters and our defensive
guys that we have to get better,"
Granger said.
"Our pitching staff always
needs to get better, and hopefully
we'll build off of it."
Fedora said the team would try
to regroup offensively Tuesday at
Olsen against the University of
Texas-Arlington, which shocked
the top-ranked Aggies last week
in Arlington, 8-6.
Fedora said that after the loss
to Baylor, Johnson told the team
to pick their heads up because
they would still be in control of
the conference race if they took
two out of three against the Bears,
which they did.
"We're not going to worry
about Texas, Rice or any other
conference team - we're going to
worry about ourselves," Fedora
said.
Weaver takes home SWC Championship Offense
after earning male athlete of month honors Con " nuedfromP °9 e7
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Mark Weaver put the capper
on a stellar junior season for the
Texas A&M tennis team Saturday,
defeating Texas Tech's Thomas
Cook 6-0, 6-1 in Lubbock to take
home the number-one Southwest
Conference singles championship.
Weaver's victory was part of
the Aggies' 4-3 team victory over
the Red Raiders, their final regu
lar-season match of the season.
Considering his relative youth
and ability to come back.
Weaver's performance this season
might make him one of the best
ever at A&M, assistant coach
Blake Barsalou said.
"Mark Weaver is probably one
of the best players to ever play at
Texas A&M," Barsalou said.
"Every time he gets in a tough sit
uation, he turns around and
makes it work.
"Winning the Southwest Con
ference Championship at number
one is unbelievable, especially
since he's only
a junior.
There's no
telling what the
guy can do."
Weaver's
conference title
came just a day
after his being
named SWC
March Male
Athlete of the
Month.
Weaver, who
finished 6-1 in conference play,
went 6-3 overall and 2-0 in the
SWC during the month of March,
topped by an upset victory over
19th-ranked Anders Eriksson of
the University of Texas.
Weaver also logged victories in
March over Coulter Wright of
19th-ranked New Mexico and
George Lampert of 20th-ranked
Clemson.
Weaver is the second Aggie to
earn such honors, as golfer Marco
Gortana shared Male Athlete of
the Month for February with Jim
my Oliver of the Texas Christian
track squad.
In other action Saturday,
A&M's Eric Horan, Ricardo Ro-
darte and Blake Arrant also
notched singles wins, with num
ber-two Scott Phillips and num
ber-four Bernardo Martinez
falling short. Weaver and Mar
tinez teamed to defeat Tech's
Cook and Clint Graf 8-5 in the
number-one doubles match.
The Aggies will be taking part
in the SWC Championships this
weekend at Fort Worth.
bats down that long."
Wunsch, who had stated earli
er in the week that he had want
ed to keep his pitch count down,
threw 123 pitches in eight full in
nings. That number was also
misleading as 25 of them came in
the first inning, when he allowed
two runs and two hits. From that
point on, Wunsch allowed only
three hits and no runs.
"At first I was a little sluggish,
but after the first inning, I settled
down and got into a groove,"
said Wunsch.
The Aggies improved their
overall record to 40-6, while com
piling a 10-2 record in conference
action. The two wins over Baylor
were also important because
Texas, after sweeping three from
Rice, will remain in second place
in the SWC.
