NEW YORK (AP)— Baseball fans
support realignment by a 2-to-1 mar
gin, even though many have reserva
tions about losing a century of tradi
tion that distinguished the American
and National leagues, a nationwide
Associated Press poll shows.
Fifty-four percent of those polled
favored the plan that would switch as
many as 15 major league teams be
tween the AL and NL, with 27 percent
opposed to reshuffling the leagues
geographically.
Yet, 48 percent said ending the tra
ditional distinction between NL and
AL teams makes them like the plan
less. And just 12 percent said blurring
the AL/NL distinction is one of the
reasons they favor the plan, which
owners will consider when they meet
in Atlanta from Sept. 16-18.
Owners say geographic realign
ment would eliminate most games in
which teams play out of their time
zones, which creates late-night broad
casts on the East Coast and early-
evening telecasts on the West Coast.
But most fans said they do not care
when they see games on television.
lust 20 percent said the TV factor
makes them more supportive of re
alignment, 22 percent said it makes
them less supportive and 57 percent
said it makes no difference.
The poll of 686 adults who said
they were baseball fans or some
what of a fan was taken by tele
phone from Aug. 22-31 by ICR of
Media, Pa. Results have a margin of
sampling error of plus or minus 3.7
percentage points.
Many fans said they supported re
alignment because it would help cre
ate regional rivalries.
Under the radical plan being
pushed by acting commissioner Bud
Selig and realignment committee
chairman john Harrington, the New
York Mets and Yankees would play in
the same division and face each oth
er many times.
The Chicago Cubs and Wliite Sox
also would play in the same division,
as would the Los Angeles Dodgers
and Anaheim Angels. Other pairings
would include San Francisco Giants-
Oakland Athletics, Montreal
Toronto Blue Jays, Kansas Cityj
als-St. Louis Cardinals, Florida).
lins-Tampa Bay Devil Rays and!
Rangers-Houston Astros.
Forty percent of the fanssaidi
like the plan more because of its
ographic pairings. Seventeen pen
said the pairings made them J pain in tl

made no difference.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)
— New York Giants receiver Ike
Hilliard, the seventh pick overall in
the NFL Draft, will be sidelined for
six-to-seven weeks with a sprained
neck, coach Jim Fassel said today.
Hilliard sprained the inter-
spinous ligament between his
sixth and seventh cervical verte
brae when he was hit by Jaguars
safety Chris Hudson after making
a sliding catch in the first quarter
of a 40-13 loss to Jacksonville on
Sunday.
The rookie from the University
of Florida underwent X-rays and
an MRI this morning at the Hospi
tal for Special Surgery-Cornell
Medical Center in New York City.
Because muscle spasms pre
vented some neck movement, a
second MRI was planned later to
day to further evaluate the injury.
“Our hope is when he gets the
spasms and soreness out of his
neck and there can be further X-
rays, then maybe they’ll have a lit
tle better picture for us, (and) that
they don’t have a bleaker picture,”
Fassel said.
Hilliard, who was spectacular in
training camp and was a threat to
break a big play on any down, will
have to wear a brace and rest for
the next several weeks, Giants
trainer Ronnie Barnes said.
“You can’t take a player out of
your lineup that you are counting
on and it doesn’t affect you,” Fassel
said of Hilliard. “But I have told this
team since day one, whoever is out
there has to make plays.”
