            Pedro's low RBI totals ARE because of the few Dodgers
     on base.  How can he hit 32 homers and hit .322 and not lead
     the RBI count. As a matter of fact, I think he's sixth or
     something. That's ridiculous.  But it's not his fault. His
     slugging percentage and OBA are also excellent.

     Usually the guys who hit for average hit 20-25 homers tops.
     Only Brett comes to mind as an average (batting average that
     is) hitter with some sock. Guerrero is the definite MVP of
     this year.

            Mattingly is the definite MVP of the AL. The only
     reason the Yankees are contending this year is because of
     their offense. Young Don is the best hitter for the Yanks.
     Talk about an RBI animal!


            I'm sick of hearing how these multimillionaire
     players give twenty tickets to underpriveleged kids and so
     forth. That's like the NY Times telling how I donated three
     dollars to Muscular Dystrophy.  Eddie Murray not only gives
     50 seats to each game, he donated $500,000 to some charity.
     Half a million bucks! That's a class, class move.  He's
     worth every penny of the 2.6 mill a year he'll get from now on.
     Even though he gets a lot of respect, he's still an
     underrated ballplayer.



	   Nobody will beat the DODGERS this year. World Series rings
     are a couple of months away. Now with Madlock at third, ouch!
