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.”

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.

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.

columnist for The Dallas Post. His
column appears weekly.)

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

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.
