Dugout roof collapses as Orioles play Marlins
MIAMI — A portion of the wood and steel roof over the Baltimore Orioles' dugout collapsed during Wednesday night's game against the Florida Marlins at Pro Player Stadium. No one was seriously hurt.
Two members of the Marlins' Bleacher Brigade, which entertains fans between innings, were on the roof launching T-shirts to the crowd when it collapsed. A 30-foot chunk of the roof fell onto the dugout steps in one piece after the top of the third inning.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
One member of the Bleacher Brigade was treated for a cut. Remarkably, the roof missed everyone in the dugout.
"It's actually amazing that no one was under that thing," pitcher Shawn Boskie said. "There would have been somebody at the hospital."
Ironman Cal Ripken was on the field at the time.
"A lot of crazy things have happened to cause injuries," he said. "That would have been the craziest."

The chunk of roof landed closest to pitcher Rick Krvida.
"It's pretty scary," he said. "It actually grazed my foot a little bit. I heard something crack like a tree splitting. I just jumped and rolled out of the way."
Play was briefly delayed while the grounds crew carried away the section of roof, which is made of heavy plywood with steel beams.
LAUSANNE, Switzerland — From Nelson Mandela to Luciano Pavarotti the stars are coming out to support their countries' bids for
Big names back nations' bids for 2004 Olympics
Mandela, on a state visit to Switzerland, was due to arrive in Lausanne to lend his charismatic backing for Cape Town, South Africa. Mandela hopes to convince IOC members to award the games to a country on the African continent for the first time as a reward for South Africa's transition to all-race democracy.
With one day left before the secret ballot by the International Olympic Committee, the five bidding cities were bringing out their big names yesterday in a last-ditch effort to sway some votes.
Pavarotti, the world's most famous tenor, is coming to boost the bid from Rome. Italian officials said he won't sing, but will say a few words to underline the city's cultural heritage.
Stockholm, meanwhile, has pressed its claim to be the athletes' choice by bringing out tennis stars Stefan Edberg and Bjorn Borg, former U.S. Olympic swimmer Mark Spitz and several other Swedish and international athletes.
U.S. World Cup Team to play for home crowd
PORTLAND, Ore. — With Tab Ramos back in the lineup and, for once, a loud, sellout home crowd cheering it on, the United States will play a critical World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica on Sunday.
The decision to hold the game in a smaller market with a reputation for supporting soccer has meant a sellout crowd of about 35,000 will be on hand. The size of the crowd has been limited by the size of the stadium, not the demand for tickets.

Among the six countries in the final round of qualifying from the North and Central American region, the top three will advance to next summer's World Cup.
"They could have sold 100,000 tickets." U.S. coach Steve囊 said.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Dale Earnhardt was medically cleared to race yesterday after tests failed to show why the driver fell asleep during last weekend's Southern 500.
Earnhardt medically fit; will race tomorrow
The U.S. team will have four matches left after Sunday's game.
NASCAR did not say what caused Earnhardt's sleepiness or what Dr. Charles Branch of Bowman Gray Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C., had found. The racing body said questions about Earnhardt's condition would be answered at a news conference today.
The 46-year-old driver received approval to compete in an announcement at Richmond International Raceway, site of tomorrow night's Exide Select Batteries 400.
"If the doctors say he's good to go, then he's good to go as far as we're concerned," NASCAR spokesman Kevin Triplett said, adding that he didn't know the results of the tests that Earnhardt had undergone.
Emmons has waived his right to a preliminary hearing on drunken driving charges stemming from an accident in which his sports utility vehicle flipped."
