Page 10--Wednesday, November 4, 1981-The Michigan Daily SPOR TS OF THE DAILY '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. aw Them Where n It's At! 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 AL Cy Young / balloting 1. Rollie Fingers (Mil.) ... 2. Steve McCatty (Oak.) .. 3.
