AL tops NL 3-1 in All-Star game CLEVELAND (AP) — The hit did not move Sandy Alomar any closer to Joe DiMaggio. Instead, it won the game for the American League and restored some All-Star pride for Cleveland catchers. While NL hitters did little no matter what side of the plate they batted from — Larry Walker even turned around after Randy Johnson playfully threw a pitch over his head — Alomar’s two-run homer in the seventh inning gave the AL a 3-1 win Tuesday night, ending its three-game los ing streak. Alomar, who took a 30-game hitting streak into the All-Star break, made the most of his only at-bat with a two-out drive against San Francisco’s Shawn Estes and earned the MVP award. Before Alomar’s home run, Indians catchers were known for only one thing in All-Star play. It was 1970 when Ray Fosse was bowled over by Pete Rose for the winning run in the 12th inning. Alomar became the first player to homer in his hometown All-Star game since Hank Aaron in Atlanta Pudge Continued from Page 3 Melvin, who has never been accused of not doing his home work, has studied the history of catchers and their durability, and has some concerns about Rodriguez holding up for an extended period. By the end of the season, Rodriguez will have caught approximately 750 games, which sends up warning signs when dis cussing a long-term contract. “Those are things you have to look at,” Melvin said. “It’s noth ing personal against Pudge. I real ize he’s worked very hard. But it’s my responsibility as general man ager to look at all those things.” Melvin has looked at Butch Wynegar, who became the Twins’ regular catcher in 1976 at age 21. A two-time All-Star, Wynegar aver aged 145 games over his first five seasons and seemed to wear down from overuse. He spent his last eight years as a part-time player, playing more than 100 games just twice in that period. Bench, by 1975, was 27, had caught 1,130 games and had dri ven in more than 100 runs in five of the previous six seasons. In 1976, he hit .234 with 16 homers and 74 RBI, his worst season in the majors. Bench drove in 109 runs in 1977, but it was the last time in his career he had more than 80 RBI in a season. It was also his last year to win a Gold Glove. Then there is Gary Carter, anoth er All-Star catcher who started play ing regularly at age 21 and held up for an extended period of time. After six full seasons (where Furtick Continued from Page 3 Benji Gil just isn’t working out, though. Texas didn’t need him to have Kevin Elster numbers this year, but they absolutely had to have his defense. Gil hasn’t lived up to the task. Billy Ripken and Domingo Cedeno have improved the position, but the best teams have solid shortstops, and Texas is not one of the best teams right now. Adding Colorado’s Walt Weiss is a popular idea around town. He has a good glove and would give the Rangers a veteran presence. But Texas needs a stronger bat to make up for Will Clark’s and Dean Palmer’s inabil ity to drive in runs. Enter Boston’s John Valentin. Valentin moved from short to second this spring to make room for All-Star rookie Nomar Garciaparrra, and he was not shy about showing his displeasure with the situation. Boston, who lately hasn’t been very concerned with keeping its marquee players, shouldn’t be upset to see its sec ond baseman go. It would take a little more weight in the Rangers’ trade bait, but Valentin’s run- production potential would make the Rangers’ lineup lethal. The other changes must come internally for Texas to win. Rodriguez deserves to be in a run- producing spot in the order, not hitting second. Will Clark may have to swallow his pride again, and make room for another better in 1972, and the first Indianspli; ) er to connect in the summersb case since Rocky Colavito in The AL cut its deficit in m ^ series to 40-27-1. Kansas City’s lose Rosi wound up the winner despitep ing up a tying, solo home run Javy Lopez in the sevem Mariano Rivera of the NewYoi Yankees pitched a perfect nirai finishing a combined three-hitt for eight AL pitchers.

Carter still remained one of the best catchers in baseball for the next seven years, winning two Gold Gloves, averaging 21 homers and 51 RBI, and start ing as tht N a t i o n ai League Al\-Siat| catcher seven conseoi- Rodriguez tive seasons. “Everyplayer Ik is different,” Melvin said. “It'sjust something you have to look at." Rodriguez has shown no signs of slowing down. In fact, there is no clear indication of how good Rodriguez will be or what level he will reach. His throwing arm was considered outstanding from his first major-league game, but the rest of his game has improved steadily with each passing year. His first full season was 19 when he hit .260 with a .300 on- base percentage. There also were just 25 extra-base hits, 39 runs scored and 37 RBI. Last year, he had a season was almost unprecedented by a catcher in baseball history. He bat ted .300 in 639 at-bats, most evei by a catcher. His 47 doubles wert the most ever by a catcher and hi 116 runs were the most at his post tion since Yogi Berra scored 116fo the Yankees in 1950. hitter to take his spot in the bat ting order as Rusty Greer did last season. Texas can’t afford to haw their No. 5 hitter drive in 60 runs The Rangers finally shed most of its reputation as a perennial loser last season, then went out and signed the game’s best closet to fill its biggest void. It’s not time to tuck tail and run just yet. Teairi that win in this league make bold moves in tough situations to gain: winning edge. Texas survived last season without having to give up anything valuable for its late sea son acquisitions — Mike Stanton and Burkett. To win this year, though, it will. Not only do players like Juan Gonzalez, Greer and Rodriguez deserve that kind of commitment from the organization, but so do the fans. We love this team and want to see a championship. Undoubtedly, Rangers Genetfl Manager Doug Melvin will earn his paycheck this month with a certain trade looming, but one point should be made to Mr. Melvin — fans understand thisis a business and he has to make some financially-smart decisions to survive, but Texas has to keep Pudge if they want to compete this season. If someone wants to pay him $12 million this fall, the* 1 pay him $13 million. He’s that important to the team and moto important to the fans. Don’t worry, we will respond with out support, and in turn, our mone) Doug — if you sign him, we will come (and so will another division title). tsl ianl TinJ ttangd er-tha Mo media pertM to the nel inn room] In; make I Kober percej Enter thatoj Inreti stock] media NetwJ No Irisrell Qub, “little time t| arepe televi] ntovif] No therql texceJ or Lari deep) them peat] Mam isa/eJ m'nml Sii Kobe] Panic 'tseej etsig itedi raunc is the good
