Special to The Dallas Post
“I had a good year in 1985, but
that’s history. Having a good year
and playing on a loser isn’t any fun.
We would all want to trade a good
year for playing on a winner, and
we are going to be a winner in
1986,” predicted Philadelphia Phil-
lies all-star rightfielder Glenn
Wilson at the Phils Caravan in
Wilkes-Barre.
Wilson had a banner year in an
otherwise disappointing 1985 Phillies
season. He hit a .275 with 14 home-
runs and 102 RBIs. He added 39
doubles, five triples, stole seven
bases, and scored 73 runs in 161
games and 608 at bats. He was the
lone Phillies representative in the
All-Star game.
Phils’ manager, John Felske,
called him ‘the most exciting right-
fielder in the league’ as he played a
very aggressive rightfield for the
club which included 14 assists.
Wilson came over to the Phils
prior to the 1984 season along with
John Wockenfuss for Dave Bergman
and southpaw reliever Willie Her-
nandez who blossomed into the 1984
Protect pets in
hot weather
The Northeast Pennsylvania
Veterninary Medical Association
has urged pet owners to protect
their pets from the many health
hazards of warm summer weather
by taking a few simple precautions.
According to the Association,
whose members practice veterni-
nary medicine throughout North-
eastern Pennsylvania, canine heart-
work disease, rabies, canine
distemper, canine parvovirus, feline
panleukopenia and feline leukemia
can all be prevented through vacci-
nation or medication.
“Pets are outdoors more during
the warm weather,” the Associa-
tion’s statement notes. ‘‘This
exposes them to other animals and
possible carriers of contagious dis-
eases. These diseases are preventa-
ble but if untreated may be fatal.”
An examination by a veterinarian
may detect heartworm disease,
which is transmitted from dog to
dog by mosquitoes. A dog must be
tested for the disease before preven-
tative medication can be started.
“A blood test will determine if the
dog has already contracted hear-
tworm disease,” the statement con-
tinues. “If the test is positive, it
may be possible to treat the dog,
providing the disease has not
already caused serious damage to
the dog’s heart, liver, lugns, or
kidneys.” The Association notes,
however, that the problem may
never reach such a serious stage if
the preventative medication is
taken.
The statement also notes that
summer is a time when pets are
often kept waiting in closed, parked
cars. The Association cautions
against this practice for even a few
minutes since pets overheat quickly
and may suffer a heatstroke. Heats-
trokes, the warning points out, can
result in brain damage or death.
Further information on warm
weather health hazards is available
from local veterninarians.
AL Cy-Young Award winner and
MVP as he led the Tigers to the
World Championship.
Wilson hit a disappointing .240
with only six homeruns and 31 RBIs
in 1984 making the deal look even
worse. However, the Phillies brass
is feeling much better after Wilson's
big 1985 season.
Wilson, born in Baytown, Texas,
loves to play the game.
“If you get as excited about
watching us play as I get excited
about playing, then you’ll have a lot
of fun,” he said to the fans in
Wilkes-Barre. “If I had to pay to
play baseball, I'd do it,” he added
much to the fans’ disbelief (Wilson
took Phils owner Bill Giles to Arbi-
tration this year).
Wilson, a two-time All-American
football player at Sam Houston
State, talked about an early run-in
he had with manager Felske just
before Felske was named the Phil-
lies skipper: “I had a run-in with
John in 1984. I had been told to go
out and play leftfield late in the
ninth inning after Jeff Stone had
just been left to hit against a
lefthander (Wilson bats from the
right side).
‘‘Felske wasn’t the manager then,
but he gave me the order to go to
leftfield. I told him that someone
else can play leftfield. I was a
frustrated ballplayer at the time.
John called me in to talk to the
“Pope” (Paul Owens) and the
“Pope” aired me out. In the next
week, Felske was named the man-
ager!
“I had just left a bad situation in
Detroit, and now I thought I was in
another one. John called me aside
and told me that was over and done
with. He told me that he would give
me an opportunity to win a job in
spring training and that it was up to
me to win that job. The rest is
history...so far.”
John Felske doesn’t beat around
the bush,” the Texan added.
Wilson is excited about the club in
1986: ‘‘We’re putting together a
pretty good nucleus. We have a lot
of young ballplayers. Some of these
guys are going to be around for the
next 10 years,” he beamed.
“Our catching will be strong,”
Wilson predicted although Darren
Daulton and John Russell are
unproven going into the season.
The ‘macho’ Wilson was the
Tigers first round selection in the
June 1980 draft.
