task he accepts without resignation.
"What you do is you try to be honest with
the team/' he said. "I don't think you can hide
the fact that you missed key free throws during
the late stages of the game.
"I don't think you can dwell on it, but there
are many other losses you're going to face in
your life that are worse than losing a double
overtime game."
And so again following these two disap
pointing losses, Barone finds himself in a re
building mode - striving to improve what he
started the day with.
Kicking and screaming, the fiery Barone has
spurred his team from mediocrity to SWC con
tention. He said that while he doesn't neces
sarily favor this method, the team determines
how much it requires outside motivation.
/The really good teams are self-motivators.
We have some guys who are self-motivating,
but in general, no (we are not a self-motivating
team), Barone said.
"(North Carolina coach) Dean Smith has a
12-man roster of McDonald's All-Americans.
You have (Temple coach) John Chaney, who
basically has a lot of inner-city kids that you
have to motivate another way. Chaney serves
as father-figure, counselor and disciplinarian.
"It depends on the personality of the team."
As for the personality of the coach, Hender
son said he respects his coach for the level of
preparation he brings to the court.
"Coach Barone is a very intense person, 1
think that he tries to get tire best out of us," he
said. "He knows all about the guys on (an op
posing) team, if they go right or left, their free
throw percentages - he's a really good coach.
"He knows what color a guy's shoes are."
Beneath preparation for the Tech game
there are several issues swirling in the past
weeks that have affected Barone off the court -
A&M's alliance with the Big Eight Conference
and the continued speculation regarding a pro
posed 12,500-seat special events center to an-
The
If
chor the program, replacing the antiquated G.
Rollie White Coliseum.
"Going down the list of Big Eight facilities -
I have played in every one or them, and every
one of them is better than G. Rollie White,"
Barone said. "When you're talking to recruits,
you hear, '1 don't want to play in the South
west Conference.' We have eliminated that
criticism."
"You have to have something that is attrac
tive to the (recruits). They can look at G. Rollie
White and say, 'You're not serious about bas
ketball.' The special events center is a necessity
if you're going to have a quality basketball pro
gram.
"It needs to be a basketball arena that is a
special events center."
Despite the recent disappointments, Barone
remarked that although his still-fledgling pro-
it that soim
gram has exceeded m<
to solve the recent wot

Campy just smiles and turns to Don with glee,
He says, "This is how I dreamed it would be."
Tm not a religious guy, and the issue of heav
en and hell, death and the after life, aren't sub
jects 1 occupy my free time with. I've always be
lieved you are guaranteed a life and a death, and
no one can tell you what one or the other will
hold.
But Lasorda's comments got me thinking
about what happens when you pass on, what 1
would like to happen, and if there was such a
place, what Drysdale and Campanella were do
ing right at that moment. It inspired me to write.
Everyone may not understand all the names, but
I hope you get the idea.
In left here's Speaker, in right, Clemente,
Between them, six thousand hits a-plenty.
There's Foxx and Greenberg and ah, but of
course.
Immortal Lou Gehrig-The Great Iron Horse.
And now they come in pairs and in threes:
Chesbro and Appling and Cool Papa Bell,
Medwick and Satchel and Hornsby as well.
The line-ups are filled and the stands come
alive, j
Peopfle, all ages, colors and sizes.
'Heaven'
Drysdale, now pitching, with flames in his
eyes,
A single for sure, by liig Johnny Mize,
Big Don whirls, and then throws his glance,
A 6-4-3-, Tinker, Evers, to Chance!
"Campy!," yells Leo, "New pitcher today!"
"Now?!," thinks Roy, who has just begun to
play.
And as he turns around, his face grows pale.
For coming up the ramp is . . . Don Drysdale.
They walk to the field, joyful and talking,
Don still amazed that Campy is walking.
The night comes on and the sun sinks low.
Each boy with his head on a soft pillow.
Big Don and Campy, up talking all night.
Finally decide to sleep and to dream.
Don whispers soft, as they turn out the light,
"Campy, Heaven's got one hell of a team."
Reaching the field, Don's heart goes a-flutter.
Before him are all the boys of summer.
A shout goes up with a high drive to right.
At home, at the plate, the Babe flexes his
might.
Don looks all about and he lets out a sigh.
His eyes go to Honus, Dizzy and Ty.
Another pitch, the Babe, the ball is blasted.
This one tracked down by Shoeless Joe Jack-
son.
Thurman Munson saw Roy, smiled as he did,
"You were my hero when I was a kid!"
All right. I'm no Robert Frost, but my mom
embraced it as a future Pulitzer winner (of
course, she does that with all my articles, too.)
and apparently someone at the Dodgers was
kind enough to take a minute and read my poem.
For me, writing the poem this summer and
getting that envelope on Wednesday reminded
me then, and now of something that I tend to for
get in the heat of a pennant race or the tension of
a double-overtime thriller.
It's this: People don't live and die because of
sports, sports help people feel alive, and be re
membered when they're gone.
