TRI'.TEST,

@ 17

l'm enthused abodthe depth our MinnesotaTwins seem to have as we go into th6 1991 season, particularly on the pitching staff and in our outfield.

I believe

our pitching will be much improved over last year, Most of our

stafi is coming ofi ol line seasons in 1990.

The added experiencâ&#x201A;Ź of Kevin Tapani, who was on his way to having a really orJtstanding year, and then lost most of the last two months of the soa8on iro a succession of injuries was a defi nite key to our season, without a doubt he had become our'go to guy.' We're expesling great things f rom him again in '91.

Mike Pagliarulo will hopefully return to form after being naggad by injuries the past couple of years. He has ah/vays hit well in ths dome, and should find the consistent hops of the Metrodome turtto be a blessing in disguise.

Nelson Liriano and Chuck Knoblach should batle it out for second base. Liriano is a switch-hitter and has a good deal ol major league experience. Knoblauch was ourfirst round draftchoice in 1989. We switched him from shortstop to second base at Orlando last year, and he did remarkably well. He comes out a great program at Texas A&M, where he was an All-

Mark Guthrie was much improved last season after his relurn from a brief stint in tho minor leagues. He did very, very well, and the added experience he got from being in the rotation down the strotch will no doubt help in '91. Scott Erickson got some on ths job training lagl year, but the job he did was more than commendable. He has the pitches and should ire around for some iime to come. The performance of Erickson last year

was morg lhan commendable.

It

we can get solid performance from Allan Anderson and David West,

we should remain competilive ihroughout, Anderson needs to return to the form that brougtrt him the success h9 experienced in 1988 and '89.

West, who spent the vyinter playing in Pueno Bico and was named the MostValuable Pficher in their league play-offs, needs only to become con-

sistent in order to meet his poteniial.

The big neurs is Jack Morris. We picked him up in early Fehruary. His presence and experience can only help. Jack has been as successful as a pitcher can be.

With Rick Aguilera, Steve Bedrosian, and possibly last years 'Rolalds MinorLeague Relieverof theYear,'20yearold Rich Garces coming outof the bullpen, will help to stabilize our major league staff.

We also have a number of several "young guns" maturing in our minor lesgue system. Watch outfor Portland. Former numberone draft choice Willie Banks, along with Paul Abbott, Larry Casian, and Denny Neagle should produce wins for tho Beavers.

Kent i{rbek and Greg Gagne anchor our infield real well. They're both oxcellent f elders and, of course, "Hrbek is one of ths most powerf ul hitters in all ot baseball. Gagne hil the ball real well in '89, and there's no reason why he can't retum to that level of perlormance again.

Then there's utility man Al Newman, who can do a littl e of everything.

He's definitely one ol the best in the busin8ss.

Then there;s are youngsters Scott Leius and Paul Sorrento, Sorrento is already showing signs that he is capable of challenging lor a maior league job. With his power he is capableof hitting 20 homers and 80 ormore REI's a year. Leius, who spent the off season increasing hb strefigth through a weight program, has added 15-20 pounds of musele to his frama and can

play either short or third.

With the signing of Chili Davis, the depth of our outfield is really outstanding. Although Davis will be used prlmarily in the DH rote, he al$o gfues us added amount ol fexibitity.

Then we've got guys like Pedro Munoz, Carmelo Castillo, J.T-'Brirett and Pat Houiell, who we dralted from the MetG during thewinter, Munoe is aterrific looking young and talenled prospect. lf he doesn't $lartthâ&#x201A;Ź sea-

son r^,ith us, he'll only be a phone call away, Pat Howell, atong with J.T. Bruett, who spent the majority of his season with Class Avisalia of the California League, will ioin forces lo folm a exeit ing combination. The two combined for a total of 129 stolen bases iil the

minorS last season.

We're not the powerful club that we once were. As a re8ult ws'te going to havs to concentrate on manufacturing runs, moving runnors along and doing a little tundamental things, right.

Yes, I'm Enthused with our depth. With 12 of I 6 pitchers and I of g outfielderi rrying for jobs, I have to fbel thai this is ihe bost, both in numbers and talent, depth we've had in my years with the club. I like the way things

look for 1991.

B & C CLEANERS 2715 N.E. GLISAN

The Baseball Hall of Fame continues to take it's share of abuse. First of all two separate committees, consisting of several members who may have been present when they broke bread during the "last supper," collectively decided to kick all-time hit leader Pete Rose otf the 1 992 ballot.

POnTLAND, On. 97232 236.{066

Despite his now famous short comings, Rose not only belongs on the

DRY CLEANERS OUALITY SERVICE SAME DAY SERVICE

ballot, he belongs in the hall.

Secondly, in early March the "Veterans Committee" voted Tony Lazzeri, and former Chicago White Sox owner Bill Veeck into the shrine in a election that is tainted, not because Lazzeri and Veeck made it, but because Leo Durocher was bypassed. . . again. At the tender age of 85, Durocher finds il dificult to wait another year.

The 1 8-man Veterans Committee votes on old-time players, stars from the Negro Leagues, and on managers, execulives or umpires. The committee is allowed to pick only one a year from each category, and two overall. With the requirement being a vole ol 75"/" from the members

present. ln February of this year Durocher, in spite of doctors orders, flew from his home in California to New York for what was the baseball writers dinner. The occasion marked the 50th anniversary ofthe pennant he won as a player/manager of the 1941 Brooklyn Dodgers, as well as the remarkable comeback of his 1951 New York Giants.

According to a columnist for the Philadelphia lnquirer, Durocher sent a letter of thanks to Jack Lang, secretary/treasurer of the Baseball Wri-

Portland Beavers Official Drv Cleaners

ter's Association of America. One particular distressing line stood out amongst all others, Durocher wrote. "This may be the year, but if it isn't, may not be around for next year."

Will Durocher ever make it? Hall of Famer Monte lrvin, who played for Durocher in 1951 and is a member of the Veterans Committee said, "The guys that keep voting against him won't change their minds. The man was absolutely the best. Don't hold grudges against him. Put him in."

Our sentiments exactly Mr. lrvin. Put Leo Durocher into the Baseball Hall of Fame. . . NOW! I

Shoeless Joe Jackson swung one of the heaviest and most produc.

tive bats of the dead-ball era. What did he call his bat? ln the move "The Natural" what was the name of Floy Hobbes' magi-

cal bat?

No slugger in baseball history was tougher to strike out than this "Yankee Clipper." Who is he? What was his nick name? ln the 1957, 1 958 & 1960 Fall Classics, this Yankee slugger went 77 consecutive albats without striking out. Who was he?

This manager used to pay his hitters $2.00 for bringing a man in from third base and fine them $1 .00 for stranding him there. Who was he?

Babe Ruth & Hank Aaron both hit over

7OO

home runs, but who had

the most strikeouts?

This player canied special bats named after each pitcher of a rival club designed especially to correspond to the peculiarities of that particular pitcher. He ended up with a lifetime batting average of .367. Who is he?

This player has more RBI's than any other player with 2,297. Who is he?

At 20 he was the youngest pitcher ever to throw a World Series shut-

out. ln 4,000 career innings he never gave up a grand-slam home

run. Who is he?

James "Cool Papa' Bell, eamed his nicknarne nearly 70 years ago. l-te broke into baseball as a fresh and flashy talent at the tender ag€ of 1 L As a rookie, the Mississipi native impressed all that were fortunate enough to wilness his presence on the diamond.

Not only was he brilliantly skilled, but his poise and composure was a large part of his overall make.up. Bell was widely regarded as the fastest man everto play baseball. Josh Gibsan, thehmous Negro League sfugger once $aid that, "Cool was so fast, one time he hit a hard line shst straight upthe middle, and the ball hit him in lhe neck when he slid into second."

Through his induction, Belljoined other Negro League greats such as the "agel€ss wonder" Salchel Paige (r971), Josh Gibson (1972), Walter 'Buck" Johnson (1972), and Montg lrvin (1973).

Bell broke in with the St. Louis Stars of the Negro League in 1 922. During the course of his 24 year ptaytng career, Bell tore up ths hasepatll$ and compiled a batting average of .388.

At the age of 45, Bell provided the baseball world with an interesting retrospective on his incredible playing ability during a post-season all star game in Los Angeles during 1948, two ytsar8 after his retirement, Betltook two brush back pitches in his first at bat, befcre lining a dou.

Upon his nexi at bat, Bell singled, "Papa" walched Lemon pitch ofi television on several different occasions. He had come to the conclusion thai once a base runner reached first, Lemon would only give one look to

would be base slealers. Sure enough, Lemon stayed true to torm.

At bal was the legendary Satchel FaQe. Paige knew that Belt v'/# planning to run, and the two had worked out a plan. With the pitct Paige: squared to bunt, and Bell broke for second. Bell never hesitated and

across home date.

Bell's plaque in Cooperstown reads: "Gornbined speed, dariag,and batting skillto rank among the best players in the Negro Leaques" Oonn temporari€s rated him the hstest man on the base paths." James 'Cool Papa' Bell died Thursday, Marc*r 7, 'l991 Et St. Louis University Hospital he will be missed, hrt never of heart failure.

..

"O say, can you see, by the dnzon's early light, zuhat so proudly zue hail'd at the tzuilights last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight. O'er the ramparts zue tuatched, ruere so gallantly streaming? And the rockets red glare, the bombs burstirtg irt air, gaae proof thro'the night that our flag 70as still there. O say, does that star spangled bnnner yet uaoe O'er the land of the free and the home of the braae?'
