MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Bad weather strikes ball
Snow storms and cold cause cancellations and promote injuries
The Associated Press
Ah, those sweet sights and sounds of the summer game.
A stadium organist playing "Let It Snow." Batters sticking their bats in portable heaters. Pitchers wrapping their hands around hot-water bottles. Umpires wearing ski masks, fans wearing whatever.
A strange season, actually.
"When I saw Santa Claus in the first row, I knew this would be a strange day," Paul O'Neill said after the New York Yankees played their home opener in a snow-storm Tuesday.
Bad weather has been the big winner so far, with a combination of snow, rain and cold causing 10 games to be postponed. And many of those that have been played haven't been too comfortable.
It was in the mid-30s last week at Wrigley Field when the Chicago Cubs began the year with a six-game homestand. It was 34 degrees in Detroit on Tuesday, the coldest Tigers' home opener since they began keeping records in 1934.
The Cincinnati Reds played host to the New York Mets in freezing temperatures Tuesday. The Boston Red Sox, after having their home opener snowed out Monday, found it just as chilly a day later at Fenway Park.
"Toward the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, it got real cold," Red Sox third

stranged day."
Paul O'Neill
baseman TN Neahring said. "That's when you're glad you're up, 7-8 to 9 to 1, and not tied at 3-8 hoping somebody won't hit a line drive at you."
With the falling temperatures, injuries have been on the rise. Whether it's a minor cramp for an outfielder chasing a fly ball or Los Angeles pitcher Ramon Martinez hurting his hamstring running out a grounder in Chicago, there's been trouble.
This season began on March 31, the earliest start in major league history, to ensure the World Series didn't stretch into November. But that gave winter one last chance to wreck things. Also, this week's weather took a freakish, wicked turn, causing more trouble.
Knowing what to do about these problems is more difficult. There are several possible solutions, such as;
— Pushing back opening day and shortening the schedule by playing more doubleheaders. Only one doubleheader was
Having teams on the West Coast, in the South and in domes play at home in the first two weeks of the season.
scheduled in the maiors this year.
- Going back to a 154-game schedule.
Owners, however, are hesitant to do anything that will cut down on home dates. And many teams might resent being forced to play on the road at the start of every season.
"There are a number of things we can do differently, but we have to look at all the options," acting commissioner Bud Selig said. "But there's no question that we need to examine those options because this has been very traumatic."
"You worry about players' health, players like Ramon Martinez," Selig said. "When I say it's traumatic, that's what I mean. This is something we really need to review."
In the meantime, the games go on. Or, at least, they try to in both the majors and the minors.
Eight minor league games were postponed Tuesday.

The Baltimore Orioles home game
The Baltimore Orioles home game against Cleveland was called on Tuesday. "It's just as well," Orioles manager Davey Johnson said.
"It's early in the season, you've got a wet track out there, and you don't want someone getting hurt. I know this field drains well, but..."
The Yankees, already with three games wiped out by bad weather, were glad to play Tuesday — sort of — despite blinding snow that fell from the first pitch to the last.
"This time of year, everyone is losing games," O'Neill said. "You've got to get them in."
Team continues to try to snag Mark Rypien also for quarterback
Walsh signs with Rams
ST. LOUIS — Steve Walsh, who didn't see any action last season with the Chicago Bears, has been given a chance to be the starting quarterback for the St. Louis Rams.
The Associated Press
The Rams yesterday signed Walsh, an unrestricted free agent, ending the search for a replacement for injury-prone Chris Miller.
"I'm very pleased with Walsh's decision to join us," said Rams coach Rick Brooks. "To me, the most important thing about Steve Walsh is that when given the opportunity, he wins football games.
"I was particularly impressed with what he did in 1994, his most recent playing opportunity. This is an excellent fit for our team and will provide tremendous competition for the starting spot in preseason."
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Walsh, an eightyear veteran from Miami, had an 8-3 record as a starter for Chicago in 1994.
"I'm excited about the chance to get back on the field," Walsh said in a teleconference yesterday.
The main knock against Walsh is a weak throwing arm. But both Brooks and Walsh said that is not a concern.
"If he's (the quarterback), you'll see the ball go deep," Brooks said.
"It's not the typical (John) Elway or (Dan) Marino arm," Walsh admitted. "But there are a lot of ways to win in this league. Joe Montana showed that."
Walsh, 29, spent the last two seasons with the Bears. He is expected to compete with Mark Rypien for the start job vacated by Miller, who is retiring from football — for at least a year — after suffering a series of concussions in 1994 and 1995.
Talks continue with Rypien and Brooss said it would be good to have the two competing for the starting job. Rypien started the last three games last season for St Louis.
"It's no one's job to lose, at this point," Brooks said. "It's anybody's job to win."
In 1994, Walsh completed 208 of 343 passes for 2,078 yards and 10 touchdowns. The completions, attempts and yards all were career highs. The Bears won a wild card game at Minnesota with Walsh at quarterback before getting drilled by San Francisco in an NFC semifinal.
Walsh was among four free agents the Rams brought to St. Louis for workouts. The others were Steve Beuerlein, who subsequently signed with Carolina, Randall Cunningham and David Klingler.
Erik Kramer won the job last season in Chicago, and Walsh threw no passes in 1995. The Rams will be his fourth NFL club.
Walsh helped the Saints to a wild card berth in 1990, only the second playoff appearance for the team in franchise history. At Miami, he led the Hurricanes to a national title in 1987.
