last year." FSU swim coach Teri
McKeever said. "I expect this one will
be decided on the last event."
Last season. Irvine defeated the
Bulldog men, 148-57.
"Overall, this should be the best
home meet ever since I've been coach,"

When it comes to baseball Bo doesn't know
Chris Branam
Since we are in the middle orNovembcr. and
basketball and football are both goin^ strong.
I am going to write about baseball.
"Baseball?."youask "Ofcourse."!reply.
Not a day goes by during baseball season
that some former player or announcer tries to
make a brilliant observation about the
changes that the game has seen over the last
10 or 15 years. Here Is a typical conversation
every Saturday afternoon: „
VinScully: Tom,youwereagreatpUcner
for many years. Whatis the biggest difference
uouseeojJK^theploi^rsoftodayandwhen
youstarted?
TomSearar. Vti i U s ihe pitchers. They
don'Lpiiilr insideeffectively aiiymore.
Because of this, ilie hitters liave gotten more
aggressive and are more sensitive to being
pitched up and in.
Wnal Tom Terrific is saying is that he ■"
doesn't see any differences in the players of .
today.
Almost as often as these inconsequential
observations are the keen observers who state
that players today are bigger, stronger and
faster. Any fool could see that. What they
don't mention is that the guys on the field
don't look like baseball players anymore.
Take a look at the old footage ofthe forties,
fifties, and even sixties. The players of those
eras look like they are having fun, but they
are also fiercely competitive. They actually
care if Ihelr team wins." They couir.V:-.!
victories oivthe field, not in arbitration.
Ernie Banks was abaseball player Darryl
Strawberry is not. Ted Williams w as:-
baseball player. Bo Jackson is nm. Willie
McCofey was a baseball player. Jose Canseco
is not.
Williams was made to hit. Bo may know
football, tennis, cycling, weights, running and
other assorted sports, but Bo does not know
baseball. Bo's fans shriek. "Are you crazy!?!
Are you blind? Bo has more nature1 Ability In
his little finger than Ted Williams hat]iln his
whole flannel-covered body. He can run
faster, has a better arm and can probably hit
farther. So there!"
