HO infant son was
seriously hurt' and, in
hospital, needed plenty of
attention. How could a
guy.be so unlucky? Fac-
' liclg. serious competition
for his job, lorg had to
concentrate on baseball.
A major distraction was
just about the last thing
e needed.
Stands by his people
This was the predica-
ment: Authoritative hit-
ting had made young
Kelly Gruber a good bet
to replace Iorg as the
Jays' rlghthanded third
baseman. The move
seemed one Bobby Cox,
as manager, couldn't
avoid.
"I'll tell you some-
thing. The reporters
were a, lot more concern-
ed about it than I ever
•Iorg now says. "It
never occurred to me I
wouldn't be with the club
to start the season.
"I can say that en all
honesty, even though
Gruber made a tremen-
dous bid to catch on. It's
Just that, I knew how
Bobby Cox operates. He
stands by his people. I'd
done decent work for the
man in the past so there
was no chance he'd dump
me. That wouldn't have
been his style.
"On the other hand, if
I'd shown 1 v1ras going to
bat .227 like I did in 1984,
Gruberwould have been
up
u here gejelflly. 1 under-
stood that, too. That's the
way this business has got
to be. ! just took it for
granted I'd have to play
my way off the team.'
lorg would have an
ace in the hole, however,
when the time came to
assemble the Toronto in-
field. He'd be able to step
in at either shortstop or
second base if some mis-
hap befell either Tony
Fernandez or Damaso
Garcia. In a way, then,
he was virtually indis-
pensa ble.
And that very thing
did come to pass. Garcia
was injured during a
Sept. 12 match and in
seven games as the sub-
stitute, Iorg defended
impeccably and collected
10 safeties from 25 at-
tempts, as well.
"Actually, it's been
just about my best year,"
lorg points out. "I'm bat-
ting right around .300,
which would be a career
high, and my runs batted
in will be back to normal
- about 40, probably.
Its difficult to ex-
plain. I feel that at 30,
I've sort of matured as
an athlete. By that I
mean I've acquired pa-
tience at the plate. I was
always awfully aggres-
sive and I think pitchers
took advantage of that.
They knew' f hated to
wait. Now I will. If I
don't see the ball I want,
I just let it go by. I make
them pitch•to me. That's
the only thing I can come
up with. Sort of a break-
through, you might say."
At the same time, ac-
- cording to Iorg, the
prevalent view of his.
springtime ordeal is an
exaggeration.
Retired? Selling your house?
(NC) - Should I sell the
house? This ie a very preoc-
cupyfng question for many
retired people. Because
there is no capital gains tax
- to be paid on sale of a princi-
pal residence, many people
consider their home as a
source of retirement •re-
venue.
It often happens that
older people have a good
part of their savings tied up
in the house. They are asset
Lich. but cash flow poor. Al-
though living in a nice
house, they have barely
enough money to pay for
essentials.
In many cases, it is
cheaper to live in an apart-
ment than to live in your
own home, when taxes,
maintenance, heating and
utilities are figured in. Al-
ternatively, purchase of a
less expensive house or con-
dominium may free up
funds for income-produc-
irik investments.
Many people would prob-
ably do well tosell the house
and invest theproceedsin
term deposits or guaran-
teed investment certifi-
cates with monthly income

and Canada Savings
Bonds. (Revenue from a
house sale is not eligible for
an RRSP.) They could use
ttte income from invest-
ments to augment their
revenue.
However,it is important
to know tat by selling
their home, people with low
retirement income might
raise their annual income
to the point where they are
no longer eligible for the
Guaranteed Income Sup-
plement, the' monthly pay
went added to the Old Age
Security benefit for people
whose income is below a
certain level.
It would also affect eligi-
bility for the Spouse's
Allowance for people mar-
ried to or living as husband
and wife with a person re-
ceiving the GIS. A calcula-
tion should be made to de-
termine if the person would
be worse off receiving the
proceeds of the house, but
tot getting the need -based
government benefits.
A decision to sell a house
should be worked out with
pencil and paper, listing all
the advantages and disad-
vantages; there is no set
rule, other than if the house
ie an albatross, you may
wish to get rid of it. Other-
wise, enjoy rent-free accom• and nd the sense of
independence that owner-
ship gives.
Avoid in any case selling
a house during a period of
emotional stress, such as
shortly after retirement, or
after the death of a spouse
or other laved one. You are
likely to make bad judge-
ments you might regret
later.
Margaret t.erney manages
the Bank of Montreal's Con-
sumer Education depart-
ment
"The baby's accident
was a problem, natural-
ly, but because of it, I
was able to bear down
more when I got to the
park each day. Baseball
became a release for
me," he explains. "I'd go
at it with a vengeance as
a way of emptying my
mind.
• "When the exhibition
games started, 1 went 10
at bats without a hit. The
commentators really had
something to chew on
which was funny because
I'd stroked the ball so
well. Bobby never told
me a thing about being
in trouble. All he did was
give me afternoons off to
visit the hospital. 1 took
that as a vote of confi-
dence, typical of him.
'We put out for him'
"Can't you see why we
play well for Cox, why an
average player like my-
self has been able to do so
much here? He's on our
side. He can be relied on.
So we're anxious to
repay him the best way
we can. We put out for
him."
