Gretzky likely to miss time after injury
□ The newest member of the
Blues was sustained a concussion
after being elbowed in the head.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Wayne Gretzky may
be in street clothes Tuesday night for his
first home appearance with the St. Louis
Blues, but it’s likely just a temporary set
back for the team that labored for months
to acquire him.
Gretzky sustained a concussion in Sun
day’s game at Edmonton, and the Blues
said a decision on his availability will be
made after he skates with the team Tues
day morning. But general manager and
coach Mike Keenan said Gretzky definitely
will be ready to play Thursday night
against Calgary.
Soon after the trade for the superstar
was announced last Tues
day, the Blues just about
sold out the remaining
tickets for its last nine
regular-season home
games.
“It’s like the return of
Michael Jordan to Chica- s
go,” Keenan said.
Keenan said Gretzky
was to be evaluated by a
specialist later in the day.
“I talked to him this
morning and he says he
feels pretty well,” Keenan
said. “He’s got a pretty huge headache, but
other than that to this point he’s progress
ing pretty well.”
Gretzky said Sunday that he wanted to
play, but Keenan said it will be up to
the doctors.
“This is a neurological call, not a coach’s
call,” Keenan said.
Gretzky was just about the only player
absent at an optional practice Monday. His
teammates appeared confident he’d be able
to play Tuesday.
“I’m sure he’ll be back,” enforcer Tony
Twist said.
Gretzky was injured when Edmonton’s
Kelly Buchberger elbowed him in the
head at 6:22 of the second period of St.
Louis’ 4-3 victory.
He was motionless for several minutes
and had to be helped from the ice.
“It makes you sick,” Keenan said.

Former O’s manager
Weaver up for Hall
□ The Baseball Veterans
Committee votes today
on candidates.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Earl
Weaver guided his teams to
nearly 1,500 victories, reached
the World Series four times
and posted winning records in
all but one of his 17 seasons
with the Baltimore Orioles.
“And I never was fired,” he said
last week. “I’m proud of that.”
Considering that only 11
managers have made it to the
Hall of Fame, it’s hard to say
whether those impressive cre
dentials will be enough to get
him elected when the Veterans
Committee meets Tuesday.
“It’s tough to get in,”
Weaver said. “You need three-
quarters of the votes. That’s
tough to muster.”
Nellie Fox and Gil Hodges,
19th century manager Ned
Hanlon and umpire Cy Rigler
and Negro Leaguers Smokey
Joe Williams and Bullet Joe
Rogan stand a decent chance.
Then again, this could be an es
pecially ripe year for candi
dates such as Weaver, Jim
Bunning and Bill Mazeroski.
In January, for the first time
in 25 years, members of the
Baseball Writers Association of
America failed to elect anyone,
blanking 300-game winners
Phil Niekro and Don Sutton.
Not since 1960 has there
been a year in which no one was
inducted. That means it’s up to
the Veterans Committee to pre
vent a shutout at Cooperstown.
“We came up with four can
didates to put in last year,”
said committee member
Monte Irvin, himself a Hall of
Earner. “We’re going to try to
do the same thing this time.
And I would think the senti
ment would be toward a can
didate who’s living.”
Induction ceremonies at the
baseball shrine are scheduled
for Aug. 4, but Hall chairman
Ed Stack acknowledges they
may not take place if there’s
no one going in.
“It would be nice to have
someone elected,” Stack said.
“But I think I will begin the
meeting with a statement saying
that it’s better not to lower the
standards of the Hall than just
to put someone in. We’re looking
for quality, not quantity.”
The Veterans Committee
will announce its decision at 2
pm. EST Tuesday. Ted
Williams, Stan Musial and
Yogi Berra are among the vot
ers; the committee is down to
14 members because longtime
Pittsburgh general manager
Joe Brown, who was supposed
to chair the meeting, is ill in
Mexico and unable to attend.
Former NL president Bill
White will serve as chairman.
It will take 11 of 14 votes
for election.
The committee can pick can
didates from four areas — for
mer major leaguers, a compos
ite ballot of Negro Leaguers,
umpires, executives and man
agers, a ballot of 19th century
players and personnel, and an
other ballot of Negro Leaguers.
Last year, former Philadel
phia outfielder Richie Ash-
burn, NL founder William
Hulbert, Negro Leagues star
Leon Day and turn-of-the-cen-
tury pitcher Vic Willis were
chosen by the veterans.
Weaver, 65, is hoping he’ll
get the call at his south Florida
home this year.
“It would be the ultimate
honor,” he said. “But if it does
n’t happen, I had a wonderful
career and no regrets.”
Leo Durocher was the last
manager to be elected in 1994.
Before him, it was Walter Al
ston in 1983.
Weaver’s teams in Baltimore
went 1,480-1,060 for a winning
percentage of .583, fifth-best
among managers who lasted at
least 10 years. His Orioles won
100 games five times — tied for
second-most in history — won
six AL East titles and won the
World Series in 1970.
“The fact that it was all with
one team, the longevity, I like
that,” Weaver said. “We did it
with different kinds of teams,
too. We went from a power-hit
ting club to a speed club and
back to power hitting.”
Weaver took over the Orioles
during the 1968 season and
stayed with them through
1982. He returned for part of
1985 and retired after 1986, his
only sub-.500 season. «
Bunning, nearly elected lay
the writers in 1988, was - 224-
184 lifetime with a 3.27 ERA.
A former teammate of White’s
in Philadelphia, he is in his
second year before the veter
ans committee.

that’s good,” Stephens said.
“Since we have had this situation
early in the season, we’ll learn
from them and do what it takes to
get the runs later in the game.
“We’ve made some baserun
ning mistakes that later on in
close ball games could hurt us.
We haven’t had to have the clutch
hits, but once we get in that situ
ation we have a good enough
team where people arq going to
step forward and come through.”
One player who has stepped
forward for the Aggies is true
freshman Jason Tyner who will
be making a homecoming to
Beaumont in today’s game.
Tyner, who hails from West
Brook High School in Beau
mont, has been the leadoff hit
ter in all 17 games.
He is second on the team with

Chicago has a serious lack of
depth. With the exception of
Toni Kukoc, what Bull coming
off the bench contributes any
thing but rest for the starters?
Bill Wenningtnn? j uc i Buechler?
How about Dickie Simpkins?
Several years in the league and
a beard are the only factors that
make Wenningtons rear the
most recognizable on this less-
than-impressive bench.
Furthermore, take a good
look at the league the Bulls are
ripping through. Mediocrity is
on the loose. Of the league’s 29
teams, 15 sport losing records at
the present time. Adding expan
sion teams Toronto and Vancou
ver into the fold before this sea
son just diluted an already
weakening conglomeration.
The result is a Chicago win
column bolstered by consistent
opportunities to bludgeon a
number of NBA pansies.
Where’s the challenge in that?
What kind of competition does
Chicago have to contend with for
the Eastern Conference crown?
Orlando? Indiana? I have my
a .455 batting average and is the
team leader with 30 base hits
and is second with 20 runs
scored. 1 le is the leader with 13-
of-14 stolen bases. At 66 at-bats
he has struck out only once and
brings a nine-game hitting
streak into today’s game.
Tyner said that he is really
excited about playing in front of
his hometown crowd again.
“I’m really excited,” Tyner
said. “As soon as I got the sched
ule and saw that we would be
playing, there I was excited. I’ve
got a lot of friends there and
they are all supposed to be there
watching me.
“They are all pretty proud.
They are supportive of me, and
are just as excited watching
me play as I am playing in
front of them.”

doubts that these so-called con
tenders would have been so in
the late ’80s and early ’90s.
Another reason why I hold off
on bronzing this year’s Bulls as
the best ever is that there are a
host of past teams that could be
considered as such. Many ex
perts consider the best ever
team to be the 1967 Philadel
phia 76ers, who won 68 of 81
games with Chamberlain domi
nating the league. How about
the Boston Celtics teams of the
1950s and 1960s? Led by Bob
Cousy and Bill Russell, the Celts
of this era banged out an amaz
ing eight NBA titles in a row
and 11 out of 13. And the same
Laker team the Bulls pursue for
most wins in a season racked up
33 straight wins in a row during
the 1971-1972 season.
Time is the most important
thing keeping me from canoniz
ing the Bulls like everyone else
has. They haven’t done anything
yet. They haven’t won 70 games
yet, and they’ve yet to obtain an
other NBA title.
Barring serious injuries and
natural disasters, they’ll probably
go ahead and accomplish the
above, but until they do, it is way
too early to even consider them the
best basketball team in history.
