Back in the days of Sunday doubleheaders, they sometimes hold home run derbies between games. Three shuggers from each team, teeing off against batting practice pitchers to see who could hit them how far. It might have been Willie McCoye, Willie Mays and Jim Ray Hart against Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews and Joe Torre or maybe Al Kaline, Willie Hornton and Norn Cash against Carl Yastrzemski, Tony Conigliaro and George Scott. The Associated Press Starting tomorrow, in the first swinging series of the young season, it will be Jose Canseco, Juan Gonzalez, Dean Palmer and the Texas Rangers taking on Cecil Fielder, Rob Deer, Mickey Tettleton and the Detroit Tigers. They don't do that anymore. This week, though, fans at tiger Stadium might get to see a home run derby for real. Detroit to hold slug fest Fans expect huge run total against Texas The Tigers lead the majors in scoring with 90 runs in 12 games. Twice in the last week they scored 20 in a single game. Pitchers, beware! Texas tops the majors with 17 home Instead, Kenny Rogers will face Detroit's David Wells tonight and Craig Lefferts will oppose Bill Krueger of the Tigers in the wrapup Wednesday afternoon. "I'm just glad I'm not pitching," Texas Charlie Leibrandt said. All four pitchers are left-handers, the kind that both righty-dominated lineups love to see. The Rangers are batting .369 against leafies after Canseco and Palmer rouged up reliever Neal Heaton in a 12-2 romp against the New York Yankees on Sunday. "I like to think we have more power than any team in major league baseball," said Canseco, 6-for-10 with a homer and six RBI in the last two games. "It was like Michigan beating Northwestern out there," Managersman Lou Piniella said after his lopsided defeat. Anyone who saw the Tigers smash Oakland 20-4 or pound Seattle 20-3 might disagree. Detroit rallied against left-hander Norm Charlton to beat Seattle 8-7 Sunday on Travis Fryman's two-run homer in the ninth inning. It was the second time in a week that the Tigers had won in the bottom of the ninth, and made them 5-0 at home for the first time since 1937. Not that Detroit's big hitters need much encouragement to crank it up against Texas. guess, "Fryman said. "I hope we can turn it into the year of the Tigers." last year, Fryman led all opponents by batting. 472 and scoring 14 runs against the Rangers. Tettleton ranked No. 1 with 15 RBI and Fielder was tied for second with 13, and they each hit three home runs, also matching the most against Texas. Surprisingly, Cancsoe has not done well at Tiger Stadium, one of the best hitters' parks in baseball. He has just six home runs in Detroit, equaling his fewest in any city, and is a career .248 hitter there. Overall, Detroit won last year's season series 8-4, including victories by scores of 12-8, 11-5, 10-3 and 9-6. "This is the week of the Tiger, I But with Ivan Rodriguez, Julio Franco and Manuel Lee all a hitting well over .300, it only takes a big hit from Canseco, Gonzalez or Palmer to put big numbers on the scoreboard. National League Gonzalez, who also has five home runs this year, did well at Tiger Stadium in 1992, batting .306 with three home runs and 10 RBI. Palmer, who has homered five times this season, batted only 167 with one home run in 36 at-bats in Detroit last year.

"We're Kansas City fans," Kauffman said as his wife, Muriel, sat by. "We love it. We think the team should stay here." under the plan announced yesterday, Kauffman will retain ownership until his death, when the team The civic leaders then would seek a buyer for the Royals, with proceeds from the sale being divided among charitable foundations. will be placed in a community trust directed by civic leaders selected by Kauffman. The selected leaders will pay an undetermined amount for the club, partly to satisfy baseball's requirements that owners have a financial stake in their clubs. "Any buyer must be a resident of Kansas City and agree to keep the Royals here," a Royals representative said. "However, if a resident buyer does not emerge within eight years after the successful plan is effectuated, a nonresident buyer may be selected." the announcement said the Kauffman Foundation and the Hall Family Foundation each would give $10 million to help cover the Royals' operations until a buyer was found. Other funds to operate the club would come from the sale of nonvoting stock. Those funds would go toward the $50 million Kauffman said must be raised to assure the team's continued operation until a buyer was found. Kauffman founded the Royals in the late 1960s and was the sole owner until the early 1980s, when he sold part ownership to Memphis real estate owner Avron Fogelman. Kauffman bought back Fogelman's ownership in 1991. Civic leaders have said the team was important to Kansas City because it brought the city an estimated $200 million annually from out-of-town fans.
