As a silly football season winds down. A new season of craziness for Major League baseball is already beginning. Billy "the Kid" Martin returns for his sixth or seventh or even eighth re -incarnation as manager of the New York Yankees. Martin may not lead the Yankees to the World Series but will provide national sports reporters with endless stories. There will be feature§ about Martin's drinking, about clubhouse brawls, and about the feuds Martin will have with team owner, George Steinbrenner. Most people, after they are fired, try to find work with another company. Not Martin. It seems everytime Steinbrenner goes into one of his firing fits and runs Martin out of town, it is just a matter of time before he will return. Some are trying to organize a pool, by picking a date Martin will be fired. I say he will last until July 22. I hope he is given a front office job, maybe m scouting, where he can travel, be useful and out of Steinbrenner's way. All this talk of Martin returning for his umpteenth try as manager started me thinking–a slow yet painful process. What if all those people who had left in disgrace, suddenly made their presence known once again–much like three week-old foreign cheese? Just when you thought it was safe to turn on the T.V. Jim and Tammy Baker have returned to lead the PTL Club from bankruptcy to the promised land of high ratings and big bucks. In one of the largest garage sales in history, Tammy sells her entire Cover -Girl collection to raise the money Jim will need to seize control, of the Club. Once they regain control, their first fund-raising event will raise money to buy Tammy make-up. Tammy. without Maybelline is a scary thought and this would be a worthy cause. Have you noticed that people are beginn- ing to say nice things about Richard Nix- on? The former U.S. president who left after the Watergate scandal is being talk- ed about with almost fond remembrance. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have managed to field a can- didate the American people can vote for, much less respect. It is time for "Tricky Dick" to burst on the scene once again and use his sizzling wit and sparkling per- sonality to capture American hearts and become president again. I can hear the campaign slogans now. "Vote for Dick–he won't bug you." The tale of the tape shows. Dick can't bre beat. Nixon during his acceptance speech, "Myr fellow Americans, I am not a crook, sorry wrong speech." Speaking of world leaders coming back from oblivion, we have Pierre Trudeau sticking his nose back into Canadian politics. While I respect Trudeau as one of the most intelligent people ever to lead a country, I have serious doubts his 'so what if we can't afford it–buy it' attitude would do Canada much good. When you consider Brian Mulroney has already sent m his ap- plication to the Iron Ore Company of Canada (his former job), John Turner is not even popular with Liberals and Ed Broadbent is, well Ed is a New Democrat, Pierre may be back. I admit this column has little to do with sports but it does go to show that if you wait long enough those flowered bellbot- toms you have in the closet may be in fashion again. Spoonerisms: In response to Bruce Baker's letter to the Editor, I was very serious when I suggested a Goderich Sports Hall of Fame. While the idea was indeed brilliant, it was not Mine. Much of the credit must go to Jim McDade. I just know a good idea when I hear it. I heard there were skiers who enjoyed my column last week. I was serious. Midgets hammer Park Hill 9®0 The Goderich Midget team hammered Parkhill 9-0 in Goderich on Saturday. Mike Romph open the scoring for Goderich in the first period.
