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

“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.

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

can take up to 8,000 per day.
Contrary to popular belief,
nutritionists recommend ath

percent of protein, but with as
much as 70 percent or more of
carbohydrates.

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. When does basketball season start again,
anyway?
