'M'
diver Kimball hurt in car accident
By KAREN FLACH
Michigan freshman diver Bruce
Kimball, who was starting his first year
on the Wolverine squad this season, was
admitted on October 18 to Mott
Hospital, reportedly for injuries in-
curred in an automobile accident. Kim-
ball, who is considered one of the coun-
try's top divers and was a national
champion on the three-meter
springboard, has had to withdraw from
the University, according to his room-
mate, Alex Will.
His father, Dick, the coach of the
Michigan diving team, refused to
comment until his son has had a chance
to recover. He would only say that it has
been a very unfortunate event for
everyone involved. His mother, who
was reached at the hospital, just said
that "Bruce is doing fine."
Fingers wins Cy Young
NEW YORK (AP) - Rollie Fingers,
rubber-armed relief ace of the
Milwaukee Brewers, was named win-
ner of the American League Cy Young
Award for 1981 by the Baseball Writers
Association of America yesterday.
Fingers won six games and saved 28
others with a 1.04 earned run average in
47 appearances for the Brewers, second
half winners of the American League's
East Division.
FINGERS BEAT Oakland right-'
hander Steve McCatty, receiving 22 of
the 28 first place ballots from the BB-
WAA committee composed of two
writers from each of the league's 14
franchise cities. He finished with 126
points and was the only pitcher named
on every ballot.
McCatty had the other six first place
votes and finished with 84% points, well
ahead of Jack Morris of Detroit, who
was third with 21.
Fingers, 35, had a hand in 34 of the
GIFT IDEA.

a _ . ,
Brewers' 62 victories last season and
became only the second relief pitcher to
win the AL Cy Young award, following
Sparky Lyle of the New York Yankees,
who captured it in 1977.
HE LEARNED of the award when he
arrived for a vacation in Las Vegas,
Nev.
"It's a surprise," he said. "Being a
relief pitcher, it doesn't happen that of-
ten. There were several guys who could
have gotten it - guys who had very
good years. But I'm honored and very
happy that they picked me."
Fingers said he had enjoyed a dream
year.
"VERY FEW guys get a chance to
have a year like I had," he said.
"Every pitcher who's ever won it will
say that everything went right during
the whole year. Every guy on the
ballclub played great behind me, that's
one of the main reasons I won. I gave
up 10 runs all year and every one of
them was earned. The defense didn't
give up a run when I was out there."
Acquired from St. Louis just two days
after the Cardinals had obtained him
from San Diego during the winter
meetings at Dallas last December,
Fingers pitched 78 innings for the
Brewers, striking out 61 batters and
walking only 13.
A rangy right-hander with a waxed
handlebar mustache, Fingers has star-
ted only four games in his major league
career and none since 1971.
HE BROKE IN with the Oakland A's
in 1969 and was a key member of three
world championship teams with that
club, named the most valuable player
in the 1974 World Series when he won
one game and saved two others with a
1.93 ERA against the Los Angeles
Dodgers. He holds career World Series
records for relief appearances with 16
and career saves with six. Both

marks were set during Oakland's reign
in the early 70s.
He left the A's in the first free agent
re-entry draft in 1976, signing with San
Diego and pitching four seasons for the
Padres. He won the Fireman of the
Year award three times, in 1977, 1978
and 1980. He repeated that award last
season, becoming the first man to win it
in both leagues.
In his first two years with the Padres,
he set National League records with 35
saves in 1977 and 37 saves the next
season. For his career, Fingers has 272
saves another bullpen record.

Moris in the balloting came
Milwaukee's Pete Vuckovich, fourth
with 81/2 points, followed by Baltimore's
Dennis Martinez with 31!2. Then came
