Jays in the final three games to win the division.
"You had to look at the whole season," Bell said of the MVP voting. "I played well until the last week. If we do that (judge on one week) it doesn't make any sense."
Bell hit .308 with 47 home runs, a league-leading 134 runs batted in and 111 runs scored, the latter three setting club records. He also had a .605 slugging percentage and 16 game-winning RBIs.
"I did my job and that's what counts," Bell said.
He staged a season-long battle with Oakland rookie Mark McGwire for the AL home run title before McGwire finished with 49.
"He's got a bad shoulder from carrying the rest of the ball club all
summer,” Detroit Manager Sparky Anderson said of Bell after the Tigers beat the Blue Jays 1-0 on the final day of the season.
"The only pain for me (during the final week) is that I wish we had Carly Whitt on the lineup." Bell said. Fendez and Bell were out with injuries.
Trammell moved to the 4. No spot in the lineup during spring training, after the detection of free agent Lance Parrish. Trammell responded by hitting career-high 343 with 28 hits, runs 105 runs batted in and 265 hits.
He was the first Tiger since Al
Hein in 1953 to have 50 hits and 100
RBI.
Trammell was 3-for-9 in the season-ending series against Toronto.
with one home run and two RBIs. His home run tied the first game and his second RBI, on a ball through shortstop Manny Lee's legs, won the second game.
"George Bell had an outstanding year. He certainly deserved to win." Trammell said by telephone from his home in San Diego. "I didn't really expect to win. I think that George did a better job of carrying the Blue Jays. I didn't carry the Tigers. I just contributed."
Trammell agreed with Bell that the voting should not have been based on their head-to-head competition in the final week.
"I think the whole season should count more than three days, and obviously the voters felt that way, too," Trammell said.
There were no excuses from Bell after the Tigers swept the final three games.
"They gave me the pitches to hit. I missed them." he said.
Since becoming a full-time player with Toronto in 1984, Bell has averaged .296 with 33 homers.
He was drafted by Toronto in 1980 from the Philadelphia Phillies organization, despite missing most of that with a stress fracture in a shoulder.
"For the people of the Dominican it means a lot." Bell said. "These people have been asking me when the MVP would be announced. They thought it would be three or four days after the World Series. The local newspapers couldn't wait to find out."
Buffaloes
Continued from p. 13
American by USA Today last year while at Colton High School in Colton, Calif. As a high school senior, Hemingway led the state of California and was second in the nation in rushing with 2,245 yards.
Starting sophomore halfback J.J. Flannigan had just as glittering credentials two years ago at Pomona High School in Pomona, Calif. Flannigan was named California High School Athlete of the Year in 1985. He was rated as a long-range contender for the Heisman Trophy in 1988-1989 by national prep analyst Joe Terranaville. This season, Flannigan has rushed for 356 yards and is averaging 5.6
yards a carry
The state of Texas has also been good to the Buffalo program. Last year, halfback O.C. Oliver from Clements High School in Houston set a Colorado freshman record by rushing for 688 yards. As a senior in high school, Oliver was rated as one of the top 16 players in Texas by recruiting analyst Max Emfinger.
Despite the recent successes Colorado has had in the recruiting wars and on the football field, McCartney said the health of the Buffalo football program was a year-to-year proposition.
"The job itself is just so encompassing," he said. "The recruiting effort we make is mountainous. It takes a total effort from everyone involved to stay on top of things and keep moving the program upward."
McCartney said it still remained to be seen whether any school in the Big Eight could consistently compete with Oklahoma or Nebraska. Between them, the two schools have won or shared the conference title 37 of the last 39 years.
to maintain the consistency that they have."
Program stability is the only way members of the Big, Eight's "little six" will ever to be able to close the gap. McCartney said.
"If administrators at the schools will continue to have patience with the coaches, eventually all of us will get closer (to Oklahoma and Nebraska)," he said. "I know what some of the other coaches in the conference are going through right now. I've been through the numbers thing and the losing records, and I know that it all takes time to improve."
Newspaper says unskilled boxers in demand
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Hundreds of boxers with little or no skill easily obtain licenses and are in high demand in many states to help bolster the records of other fighters, a report published yesterday by the Philadelphia Daily News said.
Based on records supplied by Ralph Citro, a consultant to the Association of Boxing Commissions, the Daily News identified 72 fighters who, it said, discredited the sport and endangered themselves.
The newspaper said the conclusion was based on interviews with dozens of state boxing commissioners, promoters, trainers and fighters during a six-week investigation.
"Opponents are like moles," said Dr. Stuart Kirschenbaum, the Michigan state boxing commissioner. "I can set a trap for them here, but there is no stopping them from tunneling into another state."
The newspaper said the 772 boxers included:
Some states, including New Jersey and Michigan, have cracked down on the use of opponents who have little or no chance of winning. But others such as Arkansas, Tennessee and South Carolina are a haven for abusers, the newspaper said.
301 who have never won a bout and 60 who have not won in eight or more contests. Michael Grant, a Philadelphia middleweight, had 20 losses between February 1982 and February 1984.
67 who were knocked out each time they fought and 365 who were knocked out in at least half their bouts. Of these, 192 were knocked out six or more times, 75 were knocked out eight or more times, and 32 were knocked out 10 or more times. Carl Oville, a junior middleweight from Port Arthur, Texas, was knocked out in each of his 13 bouts.
386 who had six or more consecutive losses at some time in their careers. Of these, 101 had nine or more and 35 had 12 or more. Jimmy Mitchell, a junior wetterweight from Meridian, Miss., had 30 consecutive losses from 1962 to 1986.
The Daily News also said that 184 boxers fought while on suspension or within 30 days of being knocked out and that 48 fought within 10 days of a suspension or a knockout. The Association of Boxing Commissioners recommends a 30-day suspension after a knockout.
Two fighters in this category fought 11 times since their suspensions, the Daily News said Ron Johnson, a welterweight from Oklahoma City, Okla., is 3-7 since he was retired in Maryland on June 27, 1983; Sam Lee Youngs, a junior welterweight from Troy, N.Y., was suspended by New Jersey on Aug. 15, 1985, for falsifying records, but is 1-9 in bouts since then in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Opponents who can bolster the records of contenders are seen as
necessary by many in boxing. Goody Petronelli, who was in David Rivello's corner for a recent bout against Sam Lee Youngs in Attleboro, Mass., said Rivello boxed "some decent opponents" but still needed to develon.
There is no wav I would take him
down and feed him to the animals in Philadelphia or Atlantic City." Petronelli said. "Youngs is the perfect present for him at this point in his career."
Rivello won in a decision, and Youngs took home $750 for the bout.
