Bob Watson, to the top front-office job. McLane, fulfilling his promise for full evaluations at the end of the season, met with both Wood and Howe on Monday and low ered the boom Tuesday, engineer ing the biggest shakeup in the As tros' 32 years of existence. "In my years as a business ex ecutive, I've always focused on the leadership," McLane said. "And I think that's what Bob brings to the organization.

"He's highly qualified. He has two World Series rings that I see every time that I see him. That represents success and that's what we're looking for." Watson, who becomes the only black general manager in major league baseball, is a former player and coach who has been in Hous ton's front office since 1988. He played for 15 years with Houston, Oakland, the New York Yankees, Boston and Atlanta and more re cently has been mentioned as a possible successor to National League President Bill White. "This is a tremendous chal lenge, an important step forward in my life," Watson said. "Five years ago, when 1 came here, I said one reason was to make Houston a big winner. I tried to assist my mentor. Bill Wood. I'd like to say thanks to him. I've al ways wanted to be a general man ager." McLane called Howe a fine man and capable baseball person but said the club needed "more imagination and more aggressive ness." "We want to be unconvention al in our approach," McLane said. "I judged this season not by wins and losses but by the mood of howl felt. We would win three or four and then we would lose three or four. Sometimes we lost to the wrong guys. We'd let leads slip away. That's what we've got to overcome." Watson's first, assignment will be to search for Howe's successor, a task he said he hoped to com plete before a meeting of base ball's general managers Oct. 31. Blue Jays take down Chicago 7-3 in game 1 The Associated Press CHICAGO — John Olerud led the majors in hit ting in spring training. He led the league in hitting in the regular season. One game into the post season, he's at it again. Olerud got three hits, scored three times and dou bled home Toronto's go-ahead runs, sending the Blue Jays past Jack McDowell and the Chicago White Sox 7-3 Tuesday night in Game 1 of the AL playoffs. It seemed like the only pitch thrown by a Chicago player that did not wind up as a hit was Michael Jor dan's ceremonial first ball. A record crowd of 46,246 at Comiskey Park spent the later innings talking about the Bulls' superstar's rumored retirement from the NBA. In a series billed as Toronto's hitting versus Chicago's pitching, the Blue Jays' bats dominated. Paul Molitor, who homered and drove in three runs, and Ed Sprague each had four of the 17 hits for the defending World Series champions. The offensive onslaught enabled Juan Guzman to survive a wild ride. He walked a career-high eight, threw three wild pitches and hit a batter, all in just six innings, but wound up with the victory and a 4-0 lifetime record in the playoffs. Meanwhile, McDowell, who tied for the major league lead with 22 wins, was tagged for an AL playoff-record 13 hits in 6 2-3 innings. There was so much hitting that the game did not end until 11:52 p.m. EDT. Baseball moved up its starting time by a half-hour this year, partly to ac commodate CBS-TV's desire not to delay David Let- terman's show, but the Blue Jays still made it a late night. Olerud, whose error at first base helped the White Sox take a 3-2 lead in the fourth, put Toronto ahead with a two-out, two-run double in the fifth. Molitor followed with an RBI single for a 5-3 lead. Chicago had its share of offense, too, although most of it was created by Guzman's wildness. He set an AL record with 26 wild pitches, and he walked Frank Thomas three times. Thomas started at designated hitter instead of at first base because of an injured left tricep. He drew a walk from Duane Ward in the ninth to set an AL Playoff record with four, and singled. Chicago, how ever, left 13 runners on base and never could get the one hit it needed. The White Sox wasted their last chance in the ninth after Ward walked the first two batters. Ward struck out two and retired Lance John son on a fly to end it. Game 2 will be Wednesday afternoon and Dave Stewart (12-8), with a 6-0 career playoff mark, will face Chicago's Alex Fernandez (18-9). Ortiz continued from Page 5 the 12th man. A game at USC means merely watching. But Aggies have the opportunity to feel like they are part of the team, that they are needed for the success of the team. At USC or UCLA games fans cheer and root for their team, but as soon as the teams start stum bling down the rankings, their fans disappear. It was so bad one year, that when USC's senior football play ers were supposed to be intro duced for the last time fans booed and threw an array of ob jects at them. This would never happen at A&M. That's why the Tsar wish es he would have played at A&M. No, I never played college football. My college football ex periences have been restricted to watching games from the stands at the L.A. Coliseum, Rose Bowl and Kyle Field. But as a person who has expe rienced being a part of another cheering section, I can fairly say that being an Aggie separates us from the rest. We are truly faith ful fans. In my eyes, my brother has earned the title of Tsar. He was right. Our football team is "damn good." And when he vis its A&M for the t.u. game, I will try to teach him those traditions that he tried to describe.
