Astros' Howe relieved from duties
Sports Briefs
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Houston Astros
owner Drayton McLane's search
for "dynamic leadership" began
Tuesday with the firing of manag
er Art Howe and general manager
Bill Wood and the elevation of
Wood's assistant. 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

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.
