They’re off! Rogers on sports Since we at The Post want our readers to be on top of events ranging from the paint-chipping problem of the Dallas water tower to the ramifications of the Fourth Annual Fernbrook Bake-Off, we in the sports department decided we needed an undercover agent to find out the what’s what of the drug epidemic that is supposedly plaguing professional baseball. After careful search and consideration, Detective Agenc was chosen to infiltrate the : E lockerroom of the New York Nitwits RICK ROGERS of the American Shipbuilding League. After a third of the season, Weaselface, posing as a blind bat boy, reported his findings to me shortly before the Nitwits were to take on the Seattle Zombies. This is the first of a three-part series dealing with drugs in sports. Part I: Drugs on the Diamond — Way of Life or Cruel Hoax. ‘“Weez, this has to be fast. My editor said that the next deadline I miss will be my last. Please, give me a scoop. What have you learned?” “I’ve learned that the life of a bat boy is lonely, filled with...” ‘“Weez, tell me about that later. What about the drugs? Why haven’t we heard anything about mandatory drug testing since spring training?”’ “Well, the idea is to stall for as much time as possible until the public forgets about it.” “But a recent poll showed that 87 percent of the fans believe the players use drugs. They want baseball cleaned up. What if they don’t forget?’ “The players’ association has thought about that, too. The longer they hold out against testing, the more time it gives them to straighten up their own clubhouse.” “So the teams are doing something to ensure there aren’t anymore scandals like the Pittsburgh Massacre?” “Definitely. The players have been told in no uncertain terms that they must stop using cocaine. The owners are very firm on this: either find a substitute drug that can’t be traced or quit doing drugs altogether. The owners know that it is a tough step, but something had to be done to stop nasty scandals.” “But that doesn’t make any sense. The problem will still be there.” “They don’t see it as a problem. ‘Out of sight out of mnd,’ is the motto. The players are sitting tight. If there aren’t any drug scandals for a while, the pressure to test will die.” “But what about Commissioner Ubbie, he seems to be real gung-ho to clean up baseball.” “Basically, the commissioner isn’t strong enough to force the issue. Even if he were, the players would take the case to the Supreme Court because it violates their rights to privacy. “Anyway, the only thing that could change anything is if the fans quit coming to the ballpark, and nothing short of a beer drought could do that, God forbid.” “Just one more question: Is there a drug problem on the Nitwits team or on any other team that you have seen?”’ “No. I can honestly say that there is no drug problem on any team that I have witnessed. I would have to say that the drug problem on baseball teams is non-existent. A hoax. There is absolutely no problems with drugs anywhere I've been — the quality has been good, the prices have been reasonable and none of us has any reason to complain.” -0- BITS & PIECES I knew it was too good to last. George Steinbrenner has come out of his bunker to rant about his players. He picked Dave Winfield out for special abuse. I guess Winfield deserves to take a bashing from the owner because of his less than brilliant play this season, but even Steinbrenner should give a guy a break who has knocked in 100 runs a year for him for the last four years and who plays defense like the Lord of the Flies. -0- I wanted to write a column about the death of Len Bias, but after reading so many columns and finding them all lacking because of cliche clutter or typical triteness, I don’t think anything can be said that is meaningful besides‘ ‘He lived.” That is the most any honest man can say of another — and that even sounds pompous. (Rick Rogers is a sports columnist for The Dallas Post. His column appears weekly.) (Continued from page 9) record, which we did, falling one game short of states. We got our start in Back Mountain Baseball when our Back Mountain All Stars took districts and sectionals and finished third in the state.” Cindy said a good deal of her success is due to the full support of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Slocum, her brothers, who sacri- ficed a lot for her and her sister, Susan, who also plays for Lake- Lehman; especially the support from her mother, who was head coach for College Misericordia’s team at the same time. “I’ve been playing since I was nine years of age and I believe that the Keystone games in 1985 played a major role in our preparation for the 1986 season.” Softball has been a way of life for Cindy and she has received encour- agement and support from all mem- bers of her family. She has spent most of her time practicing and working out and the dedication and sacrifice has made a better player of her for it. The entire Slocum family is best described as a ‘‘soft- ball” family from her father and mother down to her younger sister, Susie. Cindy has dropped a lot of weight and with a number of her college friends has worked out which has helped her get ready for her games. Through her college friends, she has had an opportunity to learn what college is like and gien her an insight into the future. She also believes it was helpful that she and her sister wereon the team at the same time. ‘‘We pushed one another and encouraged each other.” Mrs. Slocum said that Cindy is exceptional, coachable and is gener- ous in sharing her knowledge of the sport with others; that Cindy has been taught that the coach is always right. “My dad always said, ‘“‘Set your goals at the beginning of the season, then get out and do what you have to do to achieve them. Give 100 percent and do your best. If you don’t try, you won’t succeed,” said ARKSVILLE (717) 779-3420 295 Buttonwood Street Larksville, PA 18651 Tt 295 Buttonwood St. Phone (717) 779-9689 MIKE HARPER TONY DeMARANVILLE RICK CUSICK Custom Awards Larksville, PA 1865] Cindy. She said her mother has empha- sized that education comes first but, if necessary, revamp your original plans and realize your goals. Cindy said she will strive to do her very best because she knows that is what her late brother, Tracy, would expect from her, and that her older brother, Ernie, also expects her to do her best on any given day. Without her family and friends, Cindy doesn’t believe that she would have ever attained the goals she has. They have made achievement easier for her and she is looking down the road to continuing a suc- cessful career at Bloomsburg State University. RENT A NEW LAR Plymouth Horizon DAILY...WEEKEND...
