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; )

“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.

ting order as Rusty Greer did last

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).
