Cardinal flies with Babe after hitting 50th homer
SAN FRANCISCO — Mark McGwire joined Babe Ruth as the only players in major-league history with consecutive 50-homer seasons by hitting a mammoth shot off of Shawn Estes in St. Louis' game against the Giants yesterday.
McGwire led off the third inning with a homer to left field at about
446 feet. It was McGire's 16homer in 34 games since joining the Cardinals in a July 31 trade from the Oakland Athletics.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
McGwire hit a
major league-leading 52 homers for Oakland last season and became the first player with back-to-back 50-homer seasons since Ruth, who accomplished the feat in 1920 and 1921 and again in 1927 and 1928.
McGwire also became the sixth player to reach 50 homers twice, joining Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Ralph Kiner and Ruth — who did it four times.
Ken Griffey Jr., who began the day with 50 homers for the Seattle Mariners, and McGwire became only the fifth pair of players to hit 50 homers in the same season.
Playing for the first time in the San Francisco Bay area since the trade, McGwire has homered six times in his last six games.
NEW YORK—Jury selection will begin today in a federal district court where Don King will be retried on charges of defrauding an insurance company.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read with one eye closed.
Jury selection begins for Don King retrial
The government has accused King
of cheating Lloyd's of London by faking a contract to collect $350,000 in nonexistent training expenses for a canceled bate between Julio Cesar Chavez and Harold Brazier in 1991. The trial is expected to begin next week.
The first trial, in 1995, ended in a hung jury. If convicted, King could face up to 45 years in prison and a $2.2 million fine.
Last month, federal judge Lawrence McKenna of U.S. District Court in Manhattan dismissed an indictment against Don King Productions in the case. The ruling meant that only King, not his corporation, could be tried on the fraud charges.
King: Accused of defrauding insurance company
King said the ruling "reaffirms my belief in the justice system. I'm confident that a jury of lay men and women will reach the same just result.
"I've paid fighters more than anyone else, and they call me a robber," King said. "But when other promoters don't pay their fighters, nothing is said. It's a double standard I've learned to live with."
Zimmerman strengthens Broncos' offensive line
The seven-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle, who ended his brief retirement on Tuesday, was on the practice field with the Denver Broncos yesterday and hoped to appear in about 25 to 30 plays in Sunday's game against St. Louis.
DENVER — Gary Zimmerman has returned, as loquacious as ever.
But his motives for resuming his career will have to come from other sources. Zimmerman, as has been his habit since being acquired by the Broncos from the Minnesota Vikings in 1993, declined to speak with the media.
Zimmerman, 35, retired at the end of the 1966 season after playing with pain in both shoulders and having surgery on his left shoulder in the season's 14th. He left open the option of returning but did not tell Broncos coach Mike Shanahan that he felt healthy enough until after Denver's 35-14 win against Seattle Sunday.
Shanahan said he understood that San Francisco and Oakland both made contract offers to Zimmerman. Instead, the 6-foot-6, 294-pounder signed a four-year, $13 million contract with Denver on Tuesday that, according to a league source, includes a deferred $2.8 million signing bonus.
Two bookmakers were jailed for five years for handling bets and pressuring players to fix games. Four other players drew suspended sentences.
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Eighteen players and a coach were jailed yesterday for up to 21/2 years for throwing games in a scandal that has shaken professional baseball in Taiwan.
Players strike out after throwing games
Prison terms ranged from eight months to the 30 months imposed on pitchers Kuo Chien-chen and Chou Kun-yuan because they threw more games and received more payoffs, Judge Lee Ying-hao said.
The judge did not say how big the payoffs were, but a gambling-syndicate member had been accused of giving $360,000 to three China
Kuo was fined $320,000 for soliciting the bribes. Each bookie was fined $1 million.
Times Eagles players.
Gambling is illegal in Taiwan, but betting is rife in professional baseball.
The allegations first surfaced last year when five members of the Brother Elephants were briefly abducted after losing a game.
Police later arrested the six kid nappers, who had bet on the Elephants and suspected that the players had thrown games.
Graf plans fall return to competitive tennis
Neither the WTA nor Graf has given an exact date for her first real match.
One of her first appearances will be Nov. 25 in Baltimore, five months after knee surgery.
The 28-year-old German, who holds the record for most weeks ranked No. 1, has dropped to No. 13.
BALTIMORE — Steffi Graf intends to return to competitive tennis in the fall.
Graf will play Chanda Rubin in an
exhibition in the First UnionSignet Bank Tennis Challenge at Baltimore Arena, a tournament organized by former star Pam Shriver, Rubin, ranked No. 32, won the first singles title of her career this year in Austria.
Graf:Recovering from knee surgery
Graf, winner of 21 Grand Slam singles titles and 103 singles titles, has not played since losing to Amanda Coetzer in the quarterfinals of the French Open on June 3.
A week later, she had surgery on an irritated tendon near her left kneecap.
