Two elected to Hall of Fame
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — Bill Mazeroski, who hit one of baseball's most famous home runs, was elected to the Hall of Fame yesterday by the Veterans Committee, along with former Negro leagues player Hilton Smith.
Dick Williams, Gil Hodges, Dom DlMaggio and Marvin Miller were bypassed by the panel, down to 14 members because of Ted Williams' recent open heart surgery. It took 75 percent - 11 votes - for election
"I'm pretty happy," said Mazeroski, who was at the site of the committee's meeting. "I don't really know what to say. I never, ever expected to be here. You dream of a lot of things. You want to be in the big leagues. You want to make the All-Star game. You want to be in a World Series.
"You want to all those things, but you never dream of this. It's pretty exciting. I just hope I can live up to it."
Induction ceremonies will be held Aug. 5 at Cooperstown, N.Y. Kirby Puckett and Dave Winfield were elected in January by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
The Vets were allowed to pick up to four new Hall of Famers, one from each of four categories: former major leaguers, Negro leaguers, 19th century players and personnel, plus a composite of managers, umpires, executives and Negro leaguers.
"I don't really think of it unless somebody talks about it, and hardly a day goes by when somebody doesn't talk about it," Mazeroski said. "The New York people are still mad at me."
In 1992, Mazeroski's last year on the BBWAA ballot, he was listed on 182 of 430 ballots, 42.3 percent. A player needed 323 votes for election that year.
Mazerowski's homer at Forbes Field won Game 7 of the 1960 World Series for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the New York Yankees.
He came within one vote of election last year, when, for the first time since 1993, the Vets did not
Mazeroski, 64, was a .260 career hitter. He was a seven-time All-Star and won eight Gold Gloves for the Pirates. He took part in a record 1,706 double plays at second base, and many consider him the finest fielder ever at the position.
select a former major leaguer.
"He's the best second baseman of all time," former Pirates general manager Joe Brown said. "I don't think anybody came close. I've seen second basemen all the way back to the early '30s and defensively I know of no one who is his equal."
Williams hoped to follow Sparky Anderson, Tommy Lasorda and Earl Weaver, managers recently elected by the Veterans' panel.
Smith, a teammate of Satchel Paige on the Kansas City Monarchs, died in 1983. He was 72-32 in 146 games from 1937 to 1948. His best season was 1941, when he went 10-4.
Williams won two titles with Oakland and also took Boston and San Diego to the World Series, joining Bill McKeechin as the only manager to do it with three teams.
Williams' career record was 1,571,
1,451, including stints with
California, Montreal and Seattle.
"Not to take anything away from
"Not to take anything away from
Sparky, Tommy and Earl, but I think my numbers rank right up there with them," he said before the vote.
Among those on the Vets panel is John McHale, the Montreal executive who fired Williams in 1981.
Williams spent the night in jail, and the bad publicity doomed his chances.
Williams seemed to have enough support last year leading up to the election. But about six weeks before the vote, he was charged with walking naked outside his hotel room in Fort Myers, Fla.
Hodges starred at first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers, hitting 370 home runs, and managed the 1969 Miracle Mets to the World Series title.
DiMaggio, the younger brother of the late Joe DiMaggio, hit 298 in 11 seasons. He played in the Boston outfield with Ted Williams.
Miller was hired as executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association on March 5,1966,and led a revolution that ended the reserve clause and created free agency and salary arbitration, raising the average salary of major leaguers from $19,000 in 1967 to more than $2 million this year.
Injury sidelines Heat's leading scorer
The Associated Press
T he Heat's leading scorer dislocated his left shoulder in Monday's victory against Detroit
MIAMI — Long accustomed to playing short-handed, the Miami Heat are confident they can cope with the loss of guard Eddie Jones.
and will likely be sidelined several weeks.
"It's disappointing for us and for
Miami coach Pat Riley said he was optimistic Jones could return before the end of the regular season April 18.
him," Riley said yesterday. "But we will keep on."
Despite the season-long absence of All-Star center Alonzo Mourning with a kidney aliment, the Heat are 37-24 and just one game behind last year's pace, when they won their fourth consecutive Atlantic Division title.
Jones came to Miami last August in a nine-player trade with Charlotte that had Heat fans speculating about a possible NBA title. Mourning's aliment was discovered two months later and, with Jones now joining him on the bench, the Heat may struggle to hang onto their third-place spot in the Eastern Conference.
"It's the same situation as with 'Zo,' swingman Bruce Bowen said. "If we cry about it, what good is that going to do?"
Jones hurt his shoulder when he
tried to strip the ball from Corliss Williamson. He spent the night in the hospital, and the shoulder will be immobilized for R-10 days
Jones suffered a similar injury as a rookie six years ago and missed 18 games. The Heat have 21 regular-season games remaining.
His 18.1 points per game may be impossible to replace. Riley said he'd likely go with a smaller lineup and rely more on forward-center Brian Grant for offense. The extra playing time will be divided among Dan Majorle, Ricky Davis, Anthony Carter, Eddie House, Cedric Ceballos and perhaps Don MacLean.
Davis, acquired in the blockbuster trade with Charlotte, likely will make his Miami debut today against Dallas. Davis has been sidelined all season by a broken foot but returned to practice nearly a month ago and could help pick up the scoring slack.
Majerle, 35, has missed 28 games himself because of injuries. Now he may move into the starting lineup even though he's shooting just 31 percent.
"Dan is remarkable," Riley said. "He is playing the game as well as anybody we have on the team. He might not be making shots, but he's playing the game the way I want it played. He helps our team so much."
Grant, playing out of position at center because of Mourning's absence, will again be required to adjust his game and become more offensive-minded. He's third on the team with an average of 15.3 points per game.
"We've just got to go through it all over again." Grant said. "It's a team that has been through a lot this year. It has definitely been a character-building year."
