AL start
ANAHEIM, Ca. (AP) - Former
Michigan pitcher Jim Abbott made
his much-anticipated major league
debut Saturday night.
Although the Flint native and
former Sullivan Award winner lost
the game, his manager defended the
rookie's performance.
"I thought under the conditions,
he was outstanding," California
Angels manager Doug Rader said.
"No matter what happened tonight,
it's the long haul that counts and I
think he'll have a long ride."
The 21-year-old pitcher, who was
born without a right hand, was more
difficult on himself after being
pulled out with bases loaded in the
fifth inning of the 7-0 loss to the
Seattle Mariners.
"Right now, it's hard to look at
this day in a real positive light. The
way things went kind of took the
sweetness out of it," said Abbott,
who made the jump from Michigan
to the major leagues without playing
any minor league games.
The U.S. Olympic star gave up
six run (five earned), three of which
resulted from two errors by
teammates.
"There was definitely some
nervousness," he said. "I wish I

What do you get when you mix a decidedly soft 7-
foot-1 inch center nicknamed "Medical Bill" for his
constant injuries and a 6-foot-1 guard dubbed the
tough-sounding "Zeke" by his friends?
Arguably, somewhat of a role reversal after Friday
night's free-for-all supposed basketball game between
the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons in Chicago
Stadium. If you haven't heard, Pistons' star Isiah
Thomas and Bulls' center Bill Cartwright engaged in
what could conveniently and very simply be called a
"fight" during Detroit's 114-112 overtime victory.

"Maybe in a few years, I hope

he said. "But I don't feel too good
right now."
The crowd of about 46,847, at
Anaheim Stadium gave Abbott a
standing ovation.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, (AP) -
The latest development in the Pete
Rose saga surfaced in a story in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer saying that
investigators are still looking at
telephone records and other material
.trying to determine the truth of the
allegations by Paul Janszen, a body
builder now serving time for income

But the newspaper quoted an
unidentified investigator as saying,
"Does Janszen have an ax to grind?
