It's Never Over
We have talked in recent weeks about sporting events not be-
ing over until their over according the Yogie Bera. Here's another
to add to the lengthy list.
The Toronto Blue Jays now on a six game winning streak have
been pulling their wins out of the fire with regularity. Going back
few weeks our friends who support the Cleveland Indians will
remember one disastrous evening when the Jays came back from
a five run deficit in the ninth inning.
Saturday afternoon, they did it again. This time with two out
and nobody on base 'and trailing 2-1 the .Jays bounced back with
a walk to Fred McGriff, a single by Rob Ducey and double by Tony
Fernandey.
Ducey from Cambridge, the only Canadian on the Toronto
roster is showing well following his recent recall from Syracuse.
He kept Saturday's rally alive with a hit and drove in a rup in Sun-
day's 3-1 win over Texas.
Does Spring Training Help?
How benficial is the month or so that major league baseball
players spend in the sunny south in spring training?
Most will agree that the workouts in the warmer climates are
beneficial, but there is one exception this year.
Take the case of Tim Raines who failed to negotiate a free
agent contract with the Montreal Expos and was not able to sign
up until May 1, thus missing all pre -season action.
What did Raines do in his first game Saturday? He tripled in
the first inning, added two singles along the way and ended the
day with a grand slam homer.
He started Sunday again in auspicious fashion with a home
run in his first trip to the plate and Expo fans are sure glad to see
him back.
Well Timed
The Detroit Tigers and Oakland Athletics went into extra inn-
ings Friday night and Saturday afternoon before a decision could
be reached. The A's won both games.
The interesting fact was each game went 13 innings and each
took .exactly the same time of four hours and 17 minutes to
cornplete.
