Belle faces physical that decides career
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Albert Belle has been working diligently in the batting cage at the Baltimore
Orioles' spring training camp, certain that he will begin the season in right field.
Yet there is a chance he may never play again for the
Orioles — or any other team.
Belle faces a very important physical this morning.
If his arthritic right hip is deemed acceptable by team physicians, it will be possible for him to join the rest of Baltimore's position players in the first full-team practice of the spring.
But there is a distinct possibility that Belle's degenerative hip could prevent him from passing the physical.
If Belle fails the physical, the 34-year-old outfielder could be finished with his baseball career.
However, according to baseball's collective bargaining agreement, he would be entitled to a second opinion by a nonteam doctor.
The case ultimately could end up in a grievance hearing in front of commissioner Bud Selig or his staff.
But Belle said he didn't expect that to happen.
"I feel like right now I can play. How many games, I couldn't tell you," he said. "it'll just be day-by-day. But I'm pretty much on course."
NASCAR
Autopsy doesn't reveal if brace prevents injury
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Dale Earnhardt died of blunt force injuries to the head, but Dr. Thomas Parsons' examination could not determine whether Earnhardt's decision not to wear a new protective device called the Head And Neck Safety system during Sunday's Daytona 500 contributed to his death, said Dave Byron, a Volusia County spokesman.
Only about six drivers donned the U-shaped device for the 500. The brace keeps the driver's head and neck from snapping forward on impact, perhaps preventing skull and neck fractures, but Earnhardt and most other drivers shunned it as bulky and uncomfortable.
Earnhardt, 49, died instantly
Sunday after losing control of his car on the final lap and slamming head-on into a concrete wall at 180 mph.
Three other NASCAR drivers, Adam Petty, Kenny Irwin and truck racer Tony Roper, died last year of similar injuries.
The final autopsy report will not be available for several weeks, pending the completion of routine blood and toxicology tests, Byron said.

Dodgers' Sheffield seeks trade, respect
The Associated Press
Gary Sheffield is demanding a new contract or a trade to the Yankees, New York Mets or Atlanta, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are trying to accommodate the slugging outfielder.
Sheffield is signed to a $61 million, six-year contract that pays him $9.5 million in each of the next two seasons and $11 million in 2003. The deal includes an $11 million team option for 2004.
Sheffield hit .325 with 43 home runs and 109 RBI last season. He has said he does not intend to report to spring training this year at Vero Beach, Fla.
"It isn't about money; it's about the disrespect I've had to deal with since I came here." Sheffield told the Los Angeles
Times. "Every year I hear my name mentioned with some trade for some other star player."
"Why should I continue to perform the way I have for them if I'm going to be dangled out there like that all the time? Obviously, they don't appreciate me, so why not just send me some place where I will be appreciated?" he said.
The mandatory reporting date for spring training is a week away.
"If Gary's not here on Feb. 27, the situation will be resolved," said Dodgers general manager Kevin Malone.
Dwight Gooden, Sheffield's uncle, said his nephew had talked about, playing in New York since he was a kid.
"Obviously for me, I'd like to see him here," the Yankees
pitcher said. "But the Mets, that would be an ideal fit for him as well. Put him in the middle of the lineup with Piazza — two hitters like that, you'd have to throw to one of them."
The Chicago White Sox, meanwhile, are still waiting for the arrival of newly acquired David Wells.
The left-hander was excused for personal business when the rest of the pitchers and catchers reported last Friday. He was scheduled to arrive today, but agent Gregg Clifton told team officials that now his client is being delayed until Thursday.
"I'd like to meet him," White Sox manager Jerry Manuel said at Tucson. Ariz.
game winner, acquired in a disputed January trade with Toronto, all the leeway he needs.
He's counting on Wells start ing the April 2 opener at Cleveland.
Manuel, however, isn't perturbed at all by Wells' tardiness. He's going to give the 20
"I might say go to Cleveland,
"get your room and we'll meet
you when we get there,"
Manuel said.
Before Wells and the White Sox can get comfortable, the commissioner's office must rule on the recent trade that brought him to Chicago for Mike Siroka.
Sirotka has shoulder problems and the Blue Jays are seeking additional compensation. Both teams must have their documentation in the dispute to the commissioner's office by today.
