NEW YORK, N.Y. - Don Mattingly of the New York Yan kees caught up with George Scott for the most Gold Gloves by an American League first baseman, winning for the eighth time in awards announced Monday. Texas Rangers catcher Ivan Ro driguez won his second consecu tive Gold Glove, becoming one of the youngest players in history to capture the award twice. Second baseman Roberto Alo mar and outfielder Devon White of the World Series champion Toronto Blue Jays, outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. of Seattle and pitcher Mark Langston of California were among seven of last year's win ners to repeat. Only Seattle shortstop Omar Vizquel, who replaced Balti more's Cal Ripken, and Cleveland outfielder Kenny Lofton, who took the place of Minnesota's Kir by Puckett, were first-time win ners. Chicago third baseman Robin Ventura filled out this year's team. The National League winners will be announced Tuesday. The Gold Gloves are presented by Rawlings to the best fielders in baseball as chosen in a vote by major league managers and coaches late in the regular season. Rawlings began the Gold Gloves in 1957 with a combined team. Metcalf Continued from Page 7 highs and high schools now," Metcalf said. "Cen tral Texas and East Texas are all my territory now for speaking." Although basketball is behind him now.', Met calf nevertheless is still remembered by his peers for his contributions to the game. John Thornton, A&M's Assistant Athletic Direc tor, who played under Metcalf for two years, and coached with him for 10 more, said he believes Metcalf was a big reason why college basketball became a success in Texas. "The most amazing thing about Shelby is that he compiled all those records and accomplish ments when basketball was just an afterthought of football season around here," Thornton said. "Not only did he achieve recognition for A&M in bas ketball, but also for the state of Texas and the en tire southwest region as well." With basketball season rapidly approaching, Metcalf took time to reflect back on his memories, and look forward to the Aggies chances this sea son. "The best team I ever coached was the 1980 team that lost to Louisville in the Sweet 16 round of the (NCAA) tournament the year Louisville won it all," Metcalf said. "I agree with most that this year Texas certainly has the talent to win (the conference), but A&M looks good. "They have a lot of people coming back, and they had a very good recruiting season." All good things must come to an end however, and Metcalf will retire from Texas A&M on Janu ary 31, 1994, concluding a 35-year career on cam pus. Thornton said he believes Metcalf has been successful his entire life because of a special mix of attributes. "He mixes his knowledge of people with a sense of intense competition," Thornton said. "He has such great resources from stories and from his own personality. He is a rare speaker who can re late to both players and audiences all over the country." Chelkowsi Continued from Page 7 Tuesday, they're no good. WestVii ginia has to keep winning." And, why is it so diffici for W VU to obtain that status Possibly, because oftlii state their school is locatedj and named after. The state of West Virgin! is not recognized as thehom of the athletically-indinedj intellectually-gifted. Instead, a slightly unappe tizing picture of the stall which is unavoidably assoti ated with the university, lu been painted: Dilapidate kitchen appliances decoral front porches, status is d dent on the shade of neck or how high your trot sits off the ground, bull-clii pitching contests areafi vorite and brothers matn their sisters. One argument is thattli Mountaineers had aneas schedule this season consisi ing of teams such as land (1-9), Pittsburgh(li and Temple (1-9). So West Virginia hasiio played the nation's mostdtal lenging teams. With a few a ceptions, the Aggies haveaa either.
