If You Have Something To Sell Remember: The Battalion Classified Can Do It Call 845-0569 Page 4 » Wednesday, July 7, 1999 Sports .Thet, Rudy T recovering from fatigifc B „ HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Rockets coach the doctor’s advice TOM JANOVICH Rudy Tomjanovich is taking a month’s vacation from the Olympic qualifying tournament to recov er from exhaustion, but he’s not giving up his duties as coach of the U.S. Men’s Basketball Team for the 2000 games. Philadelphia 76ers coach Larry Brown, an assistant Olympics coach, will replace Tomjanovich for the qualifying tournament in Puerto Rico from July 14-25, but Tomjanovich hopes to retake the reins next year in Sydney, Australia. Tomjanovich spent Friday and Saturday night in the hospital after experiencing dizziness and weakness. Team physician Jim Muntz diagnosed Tomjanovich with extreme physical exhaustion and suggested the coach take a month off. “We have advised rest, and in light of this he will not be able to coach the USA men's senior national team in the pre-Olympic Tournament of the Americas,” Muntz said. Tomjanovich reluctantly decided he should take “I’ve spent a couple of days in the hospital conferred with my doctor and the prescripti: three or four weeks of rest,” Tomjanovich| “I’m really disappointed, and I’m going toi best to recharge myself and get ready upcoming season.” Tomjanovich appeared tired when he mait; announcement late last night. “It’s really a great honor and something!^ looking forward to,” Tomjanovich said. “Botf| overworked myself and 1 find myself reallyp.mj'i'ov cally and mentally exhausted.” IJ sa The Rockets coach has been working JLbi constantly the past two years. pentei When NBA players boycotted the 1998 Ivtunity a Championships of Basketball in Athens, Cm in tl Tomjanovich led an underdog group of mij " * league players to a bronze medal. Brown, Purdue’s Gene Beady and Kentiioj Tubby Smith are assistants for the U.S. ir.| team. Brown has worked on three USA Baskfjj coaching staffs. The team starts workouts in Orlando, Fla, : week. - ft hal ■ It a-i A l All-Stars Continued from Page 3 changes should be made in the way the team is comprised. While the fans should still have some say in who is on the team, it should be on who they want to see on the team, not who starts the game. The starters should be left up to the managers so the deserving people get to start and fans will still get to see the people they want to see in the game. Voting practices of fans should also be changed. In Cleveland, fans were allowed to vote multi ple times per game and since Cleveland sells out practically every game, their players had a decided advantage over other teams. If it is a real voting process, regulate it as such. Hand out bal lots as fans enter the game, that way each fan gets only one ballot and one vote. If these changes were already in place, here’s how this year’s American League All-Star team would look like: Catcher Fans’ Choice: Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez, Texas Rangers My Choice: Rodriguez Rodriguez outdistanced his next highest vote getter, the Indians Sandy Alomar, Jr., by 250,000 votes. Alomar has played in only 22 games in an injury plagued year, while Rodriguez, the best catcher of his generation, if not ever, is on pace to set career highs in home runs and RBIs, while remaining the best defensive catcher in the game, throwing out over 50% of attempted base stealers. First Base Fans’ Choice: Jim Thome, Cleveland Indians My Choice: Rafael Palmeiro, Texas Rangers In probably the most ridicu lous example of how lame the voting process is, Thome received over 675,000 more votes than Palmeiro. All Palmeiro has done this year is have a batting average 76 points higher and a slugging percentage 105 points higher than Thome, with seven more home runs and 27 more RBI. There should be no reason why Palmeiro shouldn’t be the starter in Boston. 1999 AL All-Star Team C Ivan Rodriguez IB Jim Thome 2B Roberto Alomar 3B Cal Ripken Jr. SS Nomar Garciaparra OF Ken Griffey Jr. OF Manny Ramirez OF Kenny Lofton DH Jose Canseco Second Base Fans’ Choice: Roberto Alomar, Cleveland Indians My Choice: Alomar At least the Indians fans got this one right. Alomar has clearly been the best second baseman in the league this year. A change of teams and a reuniting with his brother Sandy has helped him regain his gold glove form and kept him (and his bodily fluids) in line. Third Base Fans’ Choice: Cal Ripken Jr., Baltimore Indians My Choice: Tony Fernandez, Toronto Blue Jays Cal Ripken is a great player — just not as good as Tony Fernandez has been this year. Ripken went on the disabled list for the first time in his career 1999 NL All-Star Team C Mike Piazza IB Mark McGwire 2B Jay Bell 3B Matt Williams SS Barry Larkin OF Sammy Sosa OF Larry Walker OF Tony Gwynn DH Manager's Choice Kaplan students get into Law School.
