The BEST in on campus entertainment: a JEM production for USG Thumb' kind of trouble Kingman out for 6 weeks NEW YORK (AP) Dave Kingman barely got the words out of his mouth “this is my first year of day in, day-out playing” when it all came to an abrupt end ... the home runs and the strike outs. Instead of pursuing the home run records of Babe Ruth, Roger Maris and Hack Wilson, for the next six weeks the gangling slugger of the New York Mets will have his left thumb in a cast. The 6 foot-6 Kingman suffered tom ligaments in the thumb in the third inning of a game Monday night against Atlanta when he dove for a fly ball in left field at ‘ Shea Stadium and jammed his thumb into the turf. Surgery was performed immediately after the game, the thumb was put in a cast and Kingman placed on the 21-day disabled list. He took with him 32 towering home runs, 72 runs batted-in and 92 strikeouts, all of which have prompted such nicknames as King Kong, Sky and Dave the Wave. The sudden curtailment of his finest season had to be a disappointment, enough so that he begged off immediate conversation about the in- A WILOWOOD-RITCHIE PRODUCTION jury. Only Sunday he was saying: “This is my first year of day-in, day-out playing, and that has been very rewarding tome.” Previously, the awkward fielding outfielder-first base man was being platooned quite a bit by first San Francisco and then the Mets. But this season he was in the process of showing everyone that he could make it every day against all kinds of pitch ing. He hit homer N0..32 in the Mets’ 92nd game of the season on Sunday. Ruth, who hit 60 home runs in the 1927 season, did not hit No. 32 until his 95th game. Wilson, who holds the , National League record of 56 homers in one season, also waited until his 95th game to connect on No. 32. Maris, who launched 61 homers in 1961, hit his 32nd in game No. 78. unolers During a game, Kingman obiios does not want to think about a.x.e. home run records, and off the Mothers field he does not want to be Tavern A.C, reminded of them. , ~ . “I never idolized anyone' p^kForest ns when I was a kid,” he said oracles recently. “I • vaguely Burgers Vector remember hearing about Fatiguers rs Mickey Mantle and Maris, saloon And now you’re getting into a Subject I don’t Want to talk old Foresters about.” LEAGUE E While he has never thrc&tcncd Any records Meteo Marauder before, Kingman has always Masterbaiiers been considered a home run Latina hitter since he came up with chainsaw Gang gH ■■ M ■■■■ HIM M CLIP THIS COUPON Record Ranch T-Shirt Give-Away Get a free t-shirt and decal of your choice when you purchase any 3 $6.98 list price records on sale or at regular price.
