Cone returns, pitches seven hitless innings
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — It has become a habit for David Cone: Join a team in the second half of the season and lead that club into the American League playoffs.
Cone's heroic return to the mound Monday, four months after having an aneurysm removed from his pitching arm, was a personal triumph and a huge relief for the Yankees.
He's trying to repeat that tradition, with a dramatic twist, this year for the New York Yankees.
His seven hitless innings in a 5-0 victory against the Oakland Athletics gave the slumping Yankees
only their fifth win in 13 games as they try to protect their lead against Baltimore and Boston in the AL East.
"He talked us into letting him make this start, and it worked out perfectly," Yankee manager Joe Torre said. "This is such a boost for us."
Cone said all along that his comeback would be a hollow triumph unless he could provide a boost for his struggling club. In recent weeks, a series of deals had added to the uncertainties of the Yankees.
Cone's performance immediately solidified the starting rotation and provided a needed sense of sanity
"This is a big lift for the club," catcher Joe Girardi said. "We were definitely high spirited today. It's not only his ability but also his presence in the clubhouse."
in the clubhouse.
Cone's rent a-pitcher routine began in 1992 when he was traded by the New York Mets to the Toronto Blue Jays in late August. The Blue Jays went on to win the World Series.
Last year, he was traded from Toronto to the Yankees in late July and went 4-1 in September as the Yankees claimed the wild-card spot in the series.
but he was forced back into that role by the aneurysm, which required a three-hour operation May 10 as surgeons used a one-inch vein from Cone's upper left thigh to repair two arteries in his right shoulder.
signed a three-year contract with the Yankees last December and assumed that his days as a late-season savior were finished.
"This is my toughest hire-dgun routine yet," Cone said. "All that stuff about not enjoying that role, I guess I was full of it. This is the worst one yet. Or the best. I wouldn't change it, though."
Torre, who said Cone's next scheduled start was Saturday night
at home against Toronto, called Monday's pitching performance a magnificent masterpiece.
"It's a great bonus for us," Torre said, "considering we never realistically counted on him after he went to surgery."
Cone struggled with his control in the first inning Monday, starting the game with five balls and walking two batters. Then he settled down, overwhelming an A's team that leads the majors in home runs.
"Towards the middle innings, I started to relax," said Cone, who struck out six and walked three before being removed with his no-hitter intact. "In the middle innings, it just felt great to be back
out there again."
Mariano Rivera allowed an infield single with one out in the ninth, spoiling the no-hitter.
Charlie Hayes, who made a diving stop at third base in the seventh to temporarily preserve the no-hitter, marveled at the boost Cone gave the club. Hayes, who also homered in the seventh, was obtained by the Yankees from the Pittsburgh Pirates Friday.
"I wasn't here a few months ago, and Cone was in the hospital." Hayes said. "Now he's out here pitching. That's a miracle. He was awesome."
Boxer prepares to topple Tyson
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Bruce Seldon's favorite fight tape is that of James "Buster" Douglas, a 42-1 longshot, knocking out Mike Tyson.
Now Seldon wants to make a memorable tape of himself, a 23-1 underdog, beating Tyson Saturday night at the MGM Grand.
"This is the fight that will lift me to super stardom," the WBA heavyweight champion said yesterday. "I want it to be a fight that will be remembered."
Seldon said he's watched the tape of Douglas' 10th round knockout of Tyson on Feb. 11, 1990, numerous times and has learned from it.
"I feel he's lost a lot," Seldon added. "I don't feel he has that drive anymore."
Seldon sailt many of Tyson's opponents underwent a transformation once they got into the ring.
"Everybody knocks me out with their mouth," said Tyson, who became WBC champion by stopping Frank Bruno in the third round March 16.
"They say, 'I'm going to do this; I'm going to do that,' and, when they get in there, something else happens," Seldon said. "I'm not going to do that. I've got the style to beat Mike Tyson."
Promoter Don King said that if Seldon upsets Tyson, the WBC title will be declared vacant.
If Tyson wins the fight, he will become WBA champion. Seldon, however, cannot become WBC champion.
Lennox Lewis, a former WBC champion, said he should have fought Bruno instead of Tyson. Lewis went to court in New Jersey, where his promoter, Main
Events, is based. He got a ruling that Tyson had to make his first defense a gain in t Lewis.
Mike Tyson
An agreement was reached in which Lewis
was paid $4 million to step aside for a Tyson-Seldon match, with the guarantee that Tyson would make his first WBC defense against Lewis.
King said Lewis had been offered $18 million to fight Tyson but if the fight couldn't be made, Tyson would be stripped of the title rather than relinquishing it. That's likely to happen because Tyson is expected to fight Evander Holyfield in November. That fight would be for the WBA championship.
The 28-year-old Seldon doesn't care about not being able to win the WBC title. Should he upset Tyson, the WBC title would not only be vacant, but it would be a shadow championship.
It will be Seldon's second defense of the WBA title, which he won by defeating Tony Tucker in the seventh round on April 8.
Tyson's 89-second victory against Peter McNeeley was on the same card as Seldon's fight with Tucker. It was his first bout since he got out of prison on March 25, 1995, after serving three years on a rape conviction. He next stopped Buster Mathis Jr. in the third round, then won the WBC title from Bruno. His record is 44-1, with 38 knuckouts.
Joe Valerio bids farewell to Kansas City
Chiefs star leaves after final roster cut
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Joe Valerio is leaving Kansas City. His big heart is breaking.
"We're saying farewell to an old friend. We love this town," said one of the most popular and civic-minded players the Kansas City Chiefs ever had.
Oh, how they loved it when the big guy slipped unnoticed into the corner of the end zone and caught Joe Montana's touchdown pass on tackle-eligible plays. And nobody will forget the time heavy-footed Steve Bono somehow broke loose on a 76-yard touchdown run and Valerio, huffing and puffing, ran along a step ahead of him all the way, frantically waving his arms
Being a jack-of-all-trades who was not quite able to stake down a job as tight end, deep snapper, tackle or guard did not keep the high-spirited Philadelphia from winning fans' hearts during his fun-loving five-year stay.
and urging him on like a traffic cop at a busy corner.
"I was blessed with five great years in Kansas City. It was wonderful living here," he said.
Nobody, not even the dedicated Marcus Allen, worked harder at practice. But Valerio lost his job when the Chiefs made their final roster cut. The coaches' reluctant decision brought an end to the Kansas City career of one of the most well-liked players the city knew.
"Those things become more and more difficult, because you're talking about not only a good football player, but more importantly, a really good human being," said coach Marty Schottenheimer. "That makes it very difficult. I have no doubt he will be playing in the NFL this year."
Where people love football as much as Kansas City fans, you don't have to play like a star to be a star.
Joe and Jennifer Valerio, who's pregnant with triplets, were active in many civic and charitable affairs, including Children's Mercy Hospital.
"I knew one day I'd have to say goodbye to football. But I never wanted to say goodbye to this community and all the friends we've made." he said.
The 6-foot 5-inch, 205-pounder does not believe his football career is finished. He worked out last week with the New York Jets and had an appointment in St. Louis yesterday with the Rams.
The fact that his wife will deliver triplets in March doesn't make losing his job any easier.
"It will be our first, second and third child," he said.
One day last week they were out looking at baby items when the clerk recognized him.
"She said, 'Oh, I can't believe you're gone. You were our favorite,'" Valerio said. "It softens the blow a lot to know there were people who knew who I was and knew there was more to me than just the football stuff."
Her doctors tell Jennifer she will need complete bed rest beginning about the 16th week of her pregnancy. So the Valerios are packing up and heading back to their families in Philadelphia.
"Her parents both work and wouldn't be able to come out and stay, and my folks are older and it would be hard for them to come out and stay," he said. "We can't take a chance on her being stranded here if, say, the Seahawks call and offer me a job. We'd love to stay here."
When the Chiefs opened their season in Houston Sunday, the television in the Valerio home kept clicking on and off.
"We'd watch a little bit, and then we'd do something else for a while. It was hard to take," he said.
To keep their minds off their troubles, the Valerios have been talking about the good times. One of the best was the day they arrived in Kansas City in 1991.
"We drove in from the East on I70," he said. "We crossed Blue Springs, then all of a sudden, right before our eyes, there was Arrowhead Stadium. What a thrill. I'll never forget that moment.
"You know, I'm sure in the next few years, when the sadness is over, we'll look back and not think about the bad things at all. You always come back to the good times."
Nebraska player caught driving drunk
The Associated Press
as a program plagued by off-the-field problems.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Terrell Farley, a fierce linebacker, broke down and cried when he talked to his Nebraska teammates about being charged with drunken driving.
Tomich, one of Nebraska's co-captains, said Farley cried when the two discussed the incident.
"He knows he made a mistake that affects all of us, and it hit him hard," All-American defensive end Jared Tomich said yesterday. "He was embarrassed, sorry, all of that. It's just one of those things you wish you could back."
Farley's arrest Friday was a tough blow for the top-ranked Cornushakers who begin pursuit of a record third consecutive national championship Saturday against Michigan State.
His suspension for at least two games will hurt the defense while adding to Nebraska's reputation
"He was in rough shape just even trying to talk about it," Tomich said. "It's tough for him and for all of us. You just hope that everyone learns from it."
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne and Tomich both said players were reminded that their behavior will be scrutinized.
"We know we're under such a microscope," Tomich said. "It's like national attention the minute anything happens. It's something the players have brought down on themselves."
He said players had an informal agreement to either avoid alcohol during the season or to be especially careful about their behavior when
drinking.
Osborne said Farley would be evaluated for alcohol dependence.
"We're not going to just do a slap-dash deal with him," Osborne said. "It will be darn thorough. We're also going to try to make the best out of it for the young man and the team."
"If he doesn't conform, and if he doesn't come around and do the things we want, then we'll go without him. We're prepared to do that. It could be two games, and it could be the whole season — and I mean that sincerely."
Farley led the '95 Huskers with 62 tackles. He had nine tackles behind the line of scrimmage, five sacks, three interceptions — two of which he returned for touchdowns — and two blocked punts.
