Knoblauch, fan
make amends
SEATTLE (AP) — Chuck
Knoblauch has made up with a
teen-age fan who said the Min
nesota player roughed him up
outside the Twins’ hotel in Seat
tle, a spokesman said Sunday.
“The kid came to our hotel.
Chuck and the kid sat down and
apologized to each other. Then
Chuck signed a couple of pictures
for him. It was all a misunder
standing,” Twins media relations
director Rob Antony said.
Knoblauch, a Houston Bel-
laire and Texas A&M product,
was booed by Kingdome fans
during Saturday night’s 6-4
Seattle Mariners’ victory over
Minnesota in the Kingdome. He
did not play Friday-night.
Seattle police reported the 15-
year-old fan admitted yelling an
insult at Knoblauch, a second
baseman and 1991 American
League Rookie of the Year, after
Knoblauch refused an autograph
request outside the hotel Thurs
day night.

team, Richardson expects to find
himself in a battle with free
agent signee Chris Chandler for
the Oilers’ starting job.
“From what I’ve heard, and
in talking to Oilers’ people, I’m
going into camp competing for
the starting job,” Richardson
said. “With Cody (Carlson)
gone, the position is pretty
much up for grabs.”
Richardson said he is not
worried about his future with
the team, despite the drafting of
McNair, who is viewed as the fu
ture of the Oilers’ franchise.
“I could have gone to Canada
a couple of years back (and
played in the CFL), but I want
ed to stay in Houston,” Richard
son said. “I figure any experi
ence I get playing is good experi
ence, and I’ll deal with each sit
uation as it comes along.”

The same scenario has de
tailed Strawberry’s last few
years. He and fellow phenom
Dwight Gooden had drug
trouble while with the New
York Mets in the mid-’80s,
but came back to lead their
team to glory. After returning
home to the Los Angeles
Dodgers as a free agent.
Strawberry was released
when he tested positive for
drugs again.
He was picked up by San
Francisco and helped the
Giants overtake the Dodgers
in the National League
West last year until the strike
hit in August. Testing
positive again, he was re
leased by the Giants, re-re-re-
habilitated and signed Sun
day by the apparently igno
rant Yankees.
The repeated comebacks by
these players exposes the
weakness in baseball’s drug
policy — baseball would rather
have tainted stars than no
stars at all.
This policy stems back to
the very beginning of base
ball’s drug problem, which
first reared its head in 1980.
That year. Players Associa
tion Director Ken Moffet said
that as many as 40 percent of
major league players might be
drug abusers. In a league
with 28 teams, that meant ap
proximately 315 players could
have been breaking the laws
of the country and the sport
on a regular basis.
As the 1980s moved on,
players began getting in trou
ble with the law and being
suspended from the game for
drug use. Howe’s first inci
dent occurred in 1983 when
he was suspended from the
Dodgers for using cocaine.
The biggest incident oc
curred in 1985 when two
Pittsburgh-area drug dealers
named 17 major league play
ers as buyers. Included in the
list of names were such star
players as Dave Parker and
Keith Hernandez.
Then-Commissioner Peter
Uberroth tried to clean upthf
game by forcing all playerste
submit to periodic drug tests,
but his plan was rejected by
the Players Association,
which said the issue must be
addressed through the collec
tive-bargaining procedure.
Nevertheless, Uberroth
suspended the accused play
ers,and forced them to donatf
up to 10 percent of their
salaries to charities. With all
this behind the game, Ube/-
roth announced at the begto-
ning of the 1986 season that
the drug problem was solved.
Nine years later, it is clear
that he was wrong.
Strawberry joins a Yankee
team that is dead last in
the American League East,
a far cry from last year’s pow
erhouse that was running
away with the division title
before the strike. Strawberry
may be the player the Yan
kees need to turn their seasoi
around. He is 33 years old,
but still has some of his awe
some power and speed that
made him the best player in
the National League in the
late 1980s.
That’s all well and good,
but the fact remains that
Strawberry should not be
playing, no more than Howe
or the Dallas Mavericks’ Roy
Tarpley should. They all
broke the rules, made a mock
ery of the games they repre
sent and then wormed their
ways back into them.
In life this is not accej
nor is it in business. When
you throw out the emotion,
the camaraderie and every
thing else about sports, it is a
business. Baseball needs to
change its drug policies before
any more damage is done.
All students, faculty and staff
are invited to
