Ml* Lawler: Good program makes recruiting easier Continued from Page 7 game. Lawler said that as a pitching coach, he stresses on certain aspects of that pitcher throughout the year. “In the fall, we try to get the pitcher to understand what the mechanics are and to help him correct his mistakes,” Lawler said. “When it comes to game time in the spring, we do less mechanics work and we try to work on the mental part.” Lawler has also been recog nized for his recruiting at Texas A&M, which has been consid ered among the best in the na tion. Collegiate Baseball maga zine rated Lawler among the na tion’s best recruit ing coordinators. “You’re a good recruiter when you have a good school to recruit the play er to,” Lawler said. “Texas A&M is a good university and has a good baseball program, so there are a couple of things in our cor ner. What helps me do a good job of re cruiting is having so much here at Texas A&M to offer the kid.” Lawler was a three-year let- terman pitcher at Buena Vista College in Iowa when he was drafted by the New York Yan kees in 1972. The concepts Lawler learned from his playing experience, he now teaches them to the Aggie players . “Coach Johnson and I believe in the concept that the game doesn’t owe you anything, you owe the game,” Lawler said. “Baseball is a great game and it’s a great situation to be in volved in.” Johnson and Lawler first met at the University of Arizona, where Lawler was a graduate assistant and Johnson was an assistant coach. Lawler has also served as the head coach at Gon- zaga University. His 1980 team finished the season ranked #9 in the nation. Lawler said he has received some head coaching offers from other schools while he has been at A&M. “I have talked to other "What helps me do a good job is having so much here at A&M to offer a kid." —Jim Lawler pitching coach schools and to people about head coaching positions, but this place is better than probably 75% of the head jobs,” Lawler said. “I think this is a quality situation here. There are a lot of schools with head coaching openings, but not a fair chance of winning their conference or at the national level. Here, we have a fair chance to win.” Dd CM $5 cn Inf 90 E> W<: ba If su rrvi Pi: op or At: ro' ir Di tr<; G« Sr O. re 31 Bi N< 2s; E< Hi nc * You are suffering from the symptoms of a bladder infection including burning, pain, frequency of and/or cloudy urino. * You are a female between the ages of 18 and 64.

Despite the impressive numbers, Richards feels that she is not doing as well as she could be. “I’ve started slowly,” Richards said. “I’m not playing like I know I can. I know if I continue to work hard it will start to come around.” Richards illustrated that it is all starting to come around when she turned in an outstand ing performance at last week end’s Tulsa Festival where the Lady Aggies placed second. Richards hit .667 with three home runs and nine runs bat ted in. “She is working hard both as a player and academically,” Brock said. “That is why she is our leading hitter because she does the job.” Not only is Richards an offen sive threat but she is also a sound defensive player. Richards leads the Lady Aggies with a .952 fielding percentage and has committed only one er ror this season. Because Richards transferred to A&M and has only two years of eligibility left, she feels a sense of urgency when it comes to post-season play. “My freshman and sophomore year we got knocked out at re- gionals,” Richards said. “I would love to go to the World Series by my senior year. We have lots of potential and we could make it.” Brock said the team has come together and is ready to make a run for a chance to play in the post-season. “The team is fitting together now with the additions at short stop and third base,” Brock said. “We’ve had some injuries but they’re getting better. We are more team oriented now.” Scabs: Players deserve respect despite crossing picket lines Continued from Page 7 liked his play and will con tact him in the future. Now, Reagans has to go back to working those various jobs and wondering if and when they will call him. Before I could ask another question, Reagans asked me that if I were in his shoes, would I have played for a ma jor league ballclub as a re placement player? I had to think a lot about this question. I think I would play base ball as a replacement player. Even though people would call me a scab, I would risk that in order to get another shot at the majors. Even though none of the replacement players are at the major league level, some of them are at the AAA level, somewhere they were not at before the strike. And then there’s the ques tion of what will happen to the regular ballplayers who crossed the picket lines and went on and played against the union’s demands. Will they get beaned by a pitch be cause they played on instead of striking? Another friend of mine, Jaime Saylor, plays in the Houston Astros organization and said he had to cross the picket lines because this was the only way he could get money out of something he enjoyed. He also said by crossing the picket lines, he would get more baseball in and it could possi bly help him move up closer to the majors. The move paid off as Saylor jumped up from the Class A Quad City River Ban dits team to the Class AA Jackson Generals. He said he hoped no one will have any hard feelings for what he did. He said he did what he thought was best for himself and his career and would not let a baseball strike interfere with that. The replacement players were shown throughout the media as being error-prone in the field and striking out or hitting weak hits at the plate. Yet, some of the replacement players were pretty good. The Texas Rangers should have wished the strike would continue because they had a team which would have proba bly been the only Ranger ball- club to ever contend for a divi sion championship. And some of the replacement players did receive second chances at mi nor league baseball. Yes, the baseball strike did leave a bad taste in my mouth about the sport. However, I would have gone to some of the replacement games and supported them for giving their all on the field and mak ing the most out of an oppor tunity they received. At least they would have not been cry ing because no one has of fered them a lifetime contract worth $100 million. By knowing both a replace ment player and a minor lea guer who crossed the picket line, I began to realize how wrong we are for making fun of them just because they were not Ken Griffey Jr. or Jose Canseco. If you were offered some money to fulfill a sports fanta sy and to replace a crybaby All-Star, wouldn’t you do it? Think about it.
