Spring
Training is here, so
even Orioles can be proud
Spring training is here once again.
No, this isn't one of those stories
about how I went to spring training
in Florida and saw my lifelong hero
in action or anything like that. IVe
only been to Florida once, and that
was to go to Disney World.
Rather, this is the time of year for
all - Baltimore Orioles fans to join
together and have hope; our beloved
Birds are breaking out of their five
year slump in 1989. Back when we
were all teenagers in 1983, still using
Clearasil and not shaving every day,
manager Joe Altobelli led Baltimore
over the Philadelphia Phillies in the
World Series. But Jim Palmer retired
with injuries the next year, certain key
people passed their peak, and man
agement made some stupid decisions.
The result was a franchise in sham
bles. In 1986, the Orioles' streak of
18 winning seasons was snapped, and
frankly, Baltimore has just plain
sucked since then.
It was cool to be an Orioles' fan
when they were winning. You didn't
have to take a back seat to anyone
in baseball arguments, except maybe
Yankee fans. They could always boast
about their many talented players,
but let's not forget about how General
George Steinbrenner virtually buys
good players with multi-million
dollar contracts.
Look what a few years can do. I
can no longer proudly wear in public
my Orioles T-shirt or my cap with
the cartoon Oriole logo. (They're,
changing that, by the way, to a more
ornithologically-correct Oriole.) Peo
ple tease me. It's no fun cheering for
a losing team. I can now relate to
all;Green Bay Packer fans.
Two analogies come to mind:
(1) When people know you're a
Baltimore fan, it's like sitting at the
dinner table with your friends and
haying ketchup on the corner of your
mQuth. Everybody's laughing at you,
buj they wont tell you- what's so
funny if you ask.
(2) Rooting for the Orioles nowa
days is like enjoying the sweet sounds
of .;Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. You
David Kupstas
Staff Writer
can enjoy it in private just fine, but
don't let anybody outside your
immediate family know your secret.
Some people in this world have
actually been sympathetic. As soon
as they find out what team I like, they
say, "Oh, I'm sorry," almost as if a
close relative died. Most people aren't
half as nice, though. There is some
thing about a loud-mouthed baseball
fan that makes people want to kick
him when he's down. Followers of
decent teams like to toss in little
cutting remarks.
"Are the Orioles going to be any
better this year?" they ask with a
smirk. Hell, they went 54-107 in 1988.
How can you get any worse? When
I tell doubters that Joe Orsulak and
Dave Schmidt will lead Baltimore out
of the cellar, these guys laugh at me
because they think IVe made the
names up.
"Dave Schmidt? Don't you mean
Mike Schmidt? But he's the third
baseman for the Phillies."
"No. I'm talking about Dave
Schmidt, the pitcher. He's got the
Orioles' best record over the last two
seasons."
"Really? How many games did he .
win?. Five? Ha ha ha ha...."
You get the idea. But get ready,
Bird fans. This is the year that
Baltimore will leave the basement and
return the Cleveland Indians to their
customary position at the bottom of
the American League East. The youth
movement by management will
finally show dividends this year.
Yeah, yeah, you're saying. The
Orioles have all-star shortstop Cal
Ripken, but they traded Eddie Mur
ray to the Dodgers, and he was half
their team.
Not so. This is a common argument
of Oriole bashers, but there is much
more than that.
Newly-aquired outfielder Phil
Bradley could make a significant
impact, as could former Atlanta
Brave slugger Bob Horner. Horner
is being given a tryout in training
camp. If he makes the roster, he could
add some much-needed power to the
lineup. .
Ripken's brother Bill plays second
base. A fine fielder who hit over .300
his rookie year, he's got plenty of
potential. But how much can you
count on a guy who barely hit .200
last year and whose biggest claim to
fame is having an obscenity on his
baseball card?
Overall, there are about zero
positions that are secure. Even Cal
might be moved over to third. This
isn't a team media guide, so we won't
even try to go into detail about who's
playing where. Just know that if we
did, my cohorts would accuse me of
making up names again. After all, the
leading hitter was a guy named Joe
Orsulak. And their best defensive
player might be the legendary Brady
Anderson.
The facts are sad but true. The
Orioles finished 23 12 games behind
Cleveland last year but Cleveland
was in sixth place. They won no more
than four games against any division
opponent. They won a season series
from only one team, the mighty
Seattle Mariners.
The Orioles have a long way to go
before they become the perenially
dominating force they were under
Earl Weaver. But then again, you
never know. The Dodgers were
supposed to finish fifth last year, but
we know what they did to the hard
hitting Oakland A's in the World
Series. So why don't we just forget
all the talk about Baltimore improv
ing a little bit each year? Let's go for
the whole ball of wax this year. We
can have the World Series trophy
back at Memorial Stadium where it
belongs.
Prediction: Baltimore over Pitts
burgh 4 to 1 in the 1989 World Series.
Yeah, right. Maybe if someone just
pinched me...

8th
Track places
Sim NCAA meet
By MARK ANDERSON
Staff Writer
The North Carolina women's
indoor track team capped an out
standing season by finishing in eighth
place at the NCAA indoor track and
field championships. By tying Mis
souri and Kentucky, the Tar Heels
claimed the highest finish ever for a
Carolina women's team.
"We were 19th last year and were
hoping for a top 15 finish," said head
coach Dennis Craddock. "After some
things started to go right, I told the
girls we could make the top 10.
Having our success be unexpected
makes it all that much better."
Kim Austin led a parade of ten All
Americas for UNC by finishing
second in the triple jump. No UNC
female has ever finished that high in
an NCAA event. The junior from
Wilson, N.C., also earned All
America honors by finishing second
in the long jump.
"Kim actually led after the first -round,"
Craddock said. "Kim's
performance was one of many great
efforts by our athletes. We brought
ten women and all scored points."
The other North Carolina All
Americas all set school records in ,
their events. Sharon Couch was.
fourth in the 55-meter hurdles, with
a time of 7.75 seconds. The 3200
meter relay team of Michelle Faherty, ;
Kari Krehnbrink, Monica Witterholt
and Mia Pollard finished fifth. The
1600-meter relay team of Kendra
Mackey, Sonya Thomas, Rebecca
Russell and Shelby Moorman took -
sixth.
"It's an honor just to make
Nationals," said Craddock, "but their
performance shows they peaked at
the right time and were mentally
prepared."
Craddock is also looking forward
to the future as Witterholt is the only
senior among his All-Americas.
