League realignmenl
remains a
NEW YORK (AP) — Prospects
dimmed for major league realign
ment at this week’s meetings in
Atlanta, with some baseball exec
utives predicting Monday (here
will not be enough support for
any plan.
Acting commissioner Bud Selig
had hoped to call for a vote on
Thursday, the final day of the
owners’ three-day quarterly meet
ing. Selig is in favor of radical
realignment, in which 15 teams
would switch leagues.
Less radical plans have been
formulated, with most including
the shift of the AL West Coast
teams to the NL. But the San
Francisco Giants have threatened
to sue, arguing they can’t be
forced to accept the Oakland
Athletics in their market.
Ranking officials on two other
NL teams, speaking on the condi
tion they not be identified, said
they intended to support San
Francisco.
“When you buy a team, you by
assets, which include exclusive
monopoly rights to promoting
games within your own league in
your area on an exclusive basis,’’
Giants owner Peter Magowan said
Monday. “We would be asked to
give that up. That’s exactly why
the Mets and Cubs resisted.’’
The radical plan that Selig and
realignment committee chairman
John Harrington have advocated
would put all Western teams in
the NL and all Eastern teams in
the AL. It would put the Mets and
Yankees in the same division, pair
the Cubs and White Sox, the
Dodgers and Angels, and the
Giants and A’s.
Since no team can be forced to
switch leagues or divisions with
out their approval, the Mets
threatened to veto the plan, as did
the Pirates, Reds and Braves.
Harrington’s group then formu
lated a less radical plan, but it still
would have the six Pacific Coast
teams in the NL along with the
Arizona Diamondbacks and
Colorado Rockies.
“Bud Selig mollified the Mets
and Cubs by allowing them to stay
in their separate divisions. What is

Fisher prepares Oilers for Ravens
iring his tv
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) —
Jeff Fisher is not the kind of guy
who can sit quietly, watching
other guys coacli.
His Tennessee Oilers had a
bye last weekend. That meant
Fisher spent Sunday relaxing
with his family — until he
walked by a television.
“It was difficult turning the
TV on and watching ball
games,” Fisher told reporters
Monday. “That is a great moti
vational factor sitting at home
Sunday watching the games.”
The last time he experienced
the feeling was December, when
the Oilers finished 8-8 and
missed out on the playoffs by
one game.
With the Baltimore Ravens (2-
1) on the schedule this Sunday in
Memphis, Fisher dove back into
the work week Monday. He had
his players do extra work on spe
cial teams — which were shred
ded by Oakland and Miami —
third-down situations and
blitzes.
Fisher also promised plenty
of tackling drills to make up for
the off week.
After watching several close
games during the weekend,
Fisher had the Oilers (1-1) work
on their two-minute drill, some
thing they normally practice on
Fridays.
“Let’s face it. Games are com
ing down to the end, won and
lost right before the half or right
before the end of the game. You
have to have a good idea about
your two-minute drill,” said
Fisher, whose team has gone
into overtime in both its games.
“We’re going to spend more
