Thanks, Nolan
For those of you that have been
trapped in a cave, or have in any way
lost touch with the sporting world this
past week, Nolan Ryan has finished his
brilliant, 27-year career after blowing
oul his elbow against the Seattle Mariners on Sept 22.
I'msure you've been swamped with
ticket to the Hall of Fame is all but
Did you knew that in addition to his
Major League high seven no-hitters, he
lost FTVE other potential no-hitters in
ihe ninth inning with one out?
Did you know that Rod Carew, one
orbasc^all'saU-timc great hi ncrsstruck
out 29 times against Ryan? Only three
players have more and they are not
anywhere near the caliber of Carew.
It was nice to sec that Ryan's final
strikeout victim was a California Angel. I wonder if tight-wad Angels'
Owner Gene Autry wishes he would
have given Ryan a million dollars a
year instead of losing him to Houston.
Jack McDowell of the Chicago
White Sox will probably win the Cy
Young Award this season. As of this
writing, he's 22-10 with a 3.40 Earned
Run Average and is not in the top seven
in strikeouts. I'm saying this because in
1973, Ryan was was 21-16, set the
Major League Record for K's in a
season with 383 and had a 287 ERA
and did NOT win ihe Cy Young Award.
In Fact, he never won that award.
F..ntv-r in 1087 hy w*»« 'K** nolv
Major Leaguer to lead the league in
strikeouts (270) and ERA (2.76) and
not win the Cy Young Award. Nice
team he was on. Lead the league in
those two vital catagories and win only
EIGHT games (8-16).
I'm glad I had the chance to see
Ryan pitch in person. He grunts louder
than Monica Seles when he pitches. I
heard him from the second level of
Anaheim Stadium over45,000people.
Bul then again, wc arc talking about
Angel fans, so I guess hearing Ryan's
screams over the "cheers" of the Anaheim front-runners isn't that big of a
deal.
In the year 2000. ihc world will be say-
saying G'Day to Sydney for the Summer Olympics. I just hope Sydney will
have to put "another shrimp on the
barbie" for the Chinese team if, and or
when, they get there.
I think ihcy made the right decision
to have the 2000 Olympics in Australia. It's a great place and the Aussie
people are some of the nicest people on
iheplaneL
From now on, the 'Tseudo-swami'*
will take five games from tlie M*L ana
predict the winners. The format will go
as follows...
Three games will be fairly even. If
Ihe swami picks correctly, he gets one
poinL If he picks incorrecUy, he loses
onepoinL
One game will be a "no braincr", a
pick he thinks is obvious. If picked
corrccUy, he gets one poinL but if he's
wrong, he loses TWO points.
Finally the swami goes, "out on a
limb", a pick that he and he alone
agrees with. If he is wrong, he loses a
point but if he is righL he gets TWO
points. Let's here what the swam has to
BSWAMI
WsAYS...
Game I: Minnesota at San
Francisco. "Lately, I have been very
negative towards the teams from the
Bay Area. But now, the feeling around
Candlestick Park is one of confidence
and redemption after losing to Cleveland and New Orleans. For Minnesota,
I predict a long, painful afternoon for
the offense and Jim Mcmahon. Look
for the 49cr defensive line to stop the
run, then send negative vibs towards
McMahon."FLNALSCORE: San Francisco 27, Minnesota 10.
Game 2 :Ncv, Orleans at L. A.
Rams. "I feel that the Saints will come
marching into the Big A singing. 'I
Love L. A.' and leave with another victory over the hapless Rams. Rams' QB
Jim Evcritt will be extremely sore after
this game and I don't mean angry."
FINAL SCORE: New Orleans 20. L.A.
Rams 7.
Game3: Philadelphia at N. Y.
Jets. "The only reason I didn't put
this under my "No Braincr' category is
because it's being played in New York
and the Jets play lough there. This
game will be closer than most people
would like to believe. PluIIy will win,
but it wont be easy." FINAL SCORE:
Philadelphia 21. N.Y. Jets 17.
No Brainer: Indianapolis
at Denver. "This game should not
even make the Sports Page. It should
be in the Comics section. After being
embarrassed in Kansas City on Monday Night Football, John Elway will
feast on the Colls. Hopefully, no one
will get killed oul there." FINAL
SCORE: Denver 41, Indianapolis 9.
Out On a Limb: Detroit at
Tampa Bay. "I'm going WAY out
on a limb for this one!" FINAL
SCORE: Tampa Bay 14, Detroit 13.

Fresno State shoes have arrived
By Bryan Chan
Alumni Association merchandising
is expanding at a running pace.
Or at least with athletic shoes.
The association is adding tennis
and cross trainer shoes to its line-up of
Fresno State merchandise.
"These arc brand spanking new,"
said Linda Van Kirk, Alumni Association executive director, of the red and
whiteshoes embroidered with "Fresno
State" on the sides and mascot 'Time
Out" on the tongue.
Van Kirk studied the successor other
schools with selling athletic shoes before bringing the idea to Fresno State.
"Shoes arc a hot selling item," Van
Kirk said.
The shoes, manufactured by Omega
Sports Inc., joined a growing list of
merchandise that started in 1989 with
Seiko watches and now includes such
items as license plate frames, stadium
seals, sweaters, mugs.hats.t-shins, and
mantle clocks, all bearing the university name or mascot
"I helped bring it to life." Van Kirk
said of the program which sells mainly
to alumni but advertises to students,
faculty and staff.
The goal of the program is not io
profit since the associati on usually sells
at cost orslightly more. Van Kirk said.
"It'sa way of connecting the alumni
back to the school. Merchandising is a
wonderful way of doing it," Van Kirk
said.
"1 think it's great," Manuel Olgin
said, who has purchased over two dozen
items since receiving his Master of
Social Work degree in 1978. "I'm all
for tradition and supporting my alma
mater."
