Page 4 ■r aiailsISis;; Tuesday • July 12, 1994 All-stars ready for game Athletes Player's union talks about labor problems PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ken Griffey Jr. is bopping around, his hat on backwards, by the way. Barry Bonds is laughing, hitting to the hip-hop of Madonna’s “Vogue.” Fred McGriff is playfully rubbing Mike Piazza’s left bi cep for luck. Doug Jones is roaming the outfield with a videocamera. Frank Thomas is thrilling fans with 500-foot shots above the All-Star bunting and ban ners at Three Rivers Stadium. There are lots of pennant races because of realignment. There are bunches of players on record chases, perhaps be cause of a juiced-up ball. So sit back, relax and enjoy the power of Matt Williams, the pitching of Greg Maddux and the panache of Ozzie Smith at the All-Star game Tues day night. While the stars were frol icking and having fun Monday at the park, top mem bers of the players’ union were meeting across the Mononga- hela River, talking about labor problems. No strike deadline was set, but the union’s executive board announced it had the power to set a date at any time. That could mean a shutdown next month and possibly wipe out the rest of the year, includ ing the expanded playoffs and World Series. “It’s just kind of looming,” San Francisco Giants’ reliever The Battalion Classified Ads Phone: 845-0569/ Fox 845-2678 Office: Room 015 (basemenf) Reed McDonald Building o CL CO ‘AGGIE* Private Party Want Ads $10 for 20 words running 5 days, if your merchandies is priced $1000 or less (price musf appear in ad).

Continued from Page 3 Rod Beck said. “It takes away from the whole season, not just the All- Star game,’ he said.’ “It’s an ugly situation, but it’s on everyone’s minds,” he said. “It’s the attention-getting thing about this game,” Cincin nati Reds shortstop Barry Larkin admitted. “Anytime you look at the game of baseball as a business, it brings a cloud over the whole thing,’ he said.’ The American League flexed its muscles during batting prac tice and the home run derby. Griffey won the derby, but even he was bowing down after Thomas hit a 519-foot drive, the longest ball ever measured at Three Rivers. The AL won the power show for the fourth straight year. muscular imagery and biofeed back. In progressive muscular imagery the athlete is placed in a quiet, relaxing place. Then he or she creates an image using the movie technique of the ideal form or execution in their de sired sport. Dobrovolsky said if an athlete can master the mental aspects of his sport, then he will have an edge. But, he said, there is a negative side to the mental training of athletes. The ag gressiveness that many of these athletes are trained to have is hard to stop, he said. “It is hard to turn off that ag gressiveness,” Dobrovolsky said. “You can’t turn it off like a switch. The aggressiveness that they are taught bleeds into oth er parts of their lives.” Research suggests that im agery can enhance perfor mance, but Luenes warns that sports psychology can not do the impossible. “It seemed like people ex pected you to wave a wand over people and work wonders,” Luenes said. Even with all of the other scientific fields that are in volved with sports medicine, an athlete’s peak performance cannot be reached without a proper diet. The human body is essential ly an engine. Its efficiency is approximately 25 percent. Con verting the energy contained in the food to energy the body can use releases a large portion of the energy in the form of heat. In order to fuel the higher level of exertion that athletes endure, Stew Milne/THE Battalion Raynell Brown, an administrative secretary in the biology depart ment, works out at Neetum Steed Monday afternoon. they must consume more food than average people. An average American con sumes between 2,000 and 4,000 calories of food per day. Athletes can take up to 8,000 per day. Contrary to popular belief, nutritionists recommend ath letes use a diet of only 12-15 percent of protein, but with as much as 70 percent or more of carbohydrates.

Baseball Continued from Page 3 players to the All-Star game, more than any other team, and would not even make the playoffs if the season ended today. With the coming of the All-Star game, it is time to evaluate the progress of our Texas teams. Right now the Rangers would rate a C, while the Astros would rate a B. For some strange rea son it doesn’t seem like a C-rated team should make the playoffs. However, it is the first year of the new divi sions. Certainly the level of play will begin to even out after the next few years. Then the world might see every team in the postseason with a better than .500 record. Maybe the world isn’t ready for that kind of baseball league; a league where the best teams make the playoffs and the rest go home. But, maybe the world already has a sport like that.
