Orlando Cepeda elected to baseball Hall of Fame
TAMPA, Fla. — Orlando Cepeda, the Baby Bull who earned his reputation with a big bat, and three others were elected to the Hall of Fame yesterday by the Veterans Committee.
Former umpire Nestor Chylak, turn-of-the-century manager Frank Selee and Negro League pitcher Smokey Joe Williams also were selected.
The 12-member Veterans panel, which included former Cepeda teammate Juan Marichal, Ted Williams and Stan Musial, passed up Bill Mazeroski, Dom DiMaggio, former manager Dick Williams and umpire Dou Harvey.
"As a rookie on the Veterans Committee, I'm glad he got in on my first year," Marialch said of Cepeda.
Candidates needed 75 percent — nine votes — for election.
Induction ceremonies will be held July 25 at Cooperstown, N.Y. Nolan Ryan, George Brett and Rob Young were elected in January by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
"He was the type of player who had no fear, the type of player you wanted playing behind you," he said.
Cepeda was the NL's rookie of the year in 1958 with San Francisco and the league's first unanimous MVP in 1967 with St. Louis. He hit .297 with 379 home runs and 1,365 RBL.
Cepeda, 61, missed being inducted by just seven votes in the writers' elections five years ago. He came close last year in voting by the Veterans.

"I just hope this time I make it," said Ce, eda, community relations representative for the Giants. "It would be the highest thing. It's hard to describe how much it would mean."
Falcon offered diversion for soliciting prostitute
MIAMI — Atlanta Falcons safety Eugene Robinson, charged with prostitution solicitation the night before the Super Bowl, was offered a diversion program yesterday that, if completed, would clear the All-Pro player's record.
Robinson did not appear before Judge Terethe Lundy Thomas in Miami-Dade County Court for his arraignment. Robinson's attorney, Jeffrey Allen, met briefly with prosecutor Marc Weinstein to strike the deal.
Pre-trial diversion programs often are offered to first-time offenders. Robinson would be ineligible if Thomas discovers he has been convicted or charged with a crime in Florida or another state.
able to complete the program in his home state of Washington, where he lives in Woodinville with his wife and two children, court representative Mort Loffaick said.
Under the agreement, Robinson has to have an HIV test and complete a course on AIDS. He will be
Once Robinson completes the program successfully, charges will be dropped.
Robinson, 35, was arrested Jan. 30 for soliciting an undercover police officer for oral sex. He was among about 25 people arrested in a police sting targeting solicitation on Biscayne Boulevard, a major street in downtown Miami frequented by prostitutes.
His arrest came about 1.2 hours after a Christian athletes group selected him as the winner of an award for high moral character. He later returned the award.
convicted of solicitation, Robinson could have faced a maximum penalty of about 60 days in jail.
Texas Tech redshirt to run team's offense
LUBBOCK, Texas — The first-team Texas Tech football offense will be in the hands of redshirt freshman Kliff Kingsbury during spring drills, following surgery that will sideline Rob Peters. team officials said westerday.
Peters underwent surgery last week to repair damage to his right thumb suffered in the Red Raiders' season opener last fall against Texas-El Paso.
Kingsbury is the only other scholarship quarterback currently on the team. Walk-ons David Kelly, Shae McCutecheon and Brad McDaniel will be backups.
Peters broke his thumb and sprained a shoulder against UTEP and missed the next two games.
Kingsbury passed for 3,009 yards and 34 touchdowns while leading New Braunfels to the Class 5A Division II semifinals in 1997.

Jayhawks ready for Cowgirls
Continued from page 1A
The Cowgirls won only four conference games and finished 12-14 overall in what Coach Dick Halterman called one of the most disappointing seasons in his 16 years at Oklahoma State.
Even Kansas, who remained in the top 25 all but one week during the season, struggled on the road in the Big 12, winning just half of its games. Entering the Big 12 tournament, only Texas Tech, Iowa State and Kansas have recorded 20 wins and likely ensured NCAA berths.
Washington said she hoped the selection committee would take into account the tough conference schedule.
"It's crazy, but it's a reality," she said. "I don't think we should be penalized because everyone's working hard to improve their programs."
The tournament began yesterday as Kansas State defeated Colorado 55-51 in the opener. Nebraska also defeated Texas A&M 82-71, Oklahoma State beat Alabama 70-56, while Missouri probably ended Baylor's NCAA tournament hopes with a 60-59 victory.
Next year looks to be an even tougher year in the Big 12 as only conference regular-season champion Texas Tech has consistently started more than one senior. In fact, Texas Tech's Big 12 Player of the Year Angie Brazel was the only senior named to the All-Big 12 First Team.
