Padres, Tigers square off in Series opener
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tho
Detroit Tigers were unbeatable
in the early going of the regular
season and swept the American
League playoffs. If they con
tinue that trend the World
Series will be over in a hurry.
It could happen, although
Detroit Manager Sparky Ander
son isn’t counting on it.
He feels the emotion of a
seven-game series makes it too
difficult to think about a sweep
— even though his club brushed
off the Kansas City Royals in
three games to win the
American League Champion
ship Series.
“I still think 162 games deter
mines the best team in
baseball,” Anderson said Mon
day while the Tigers practiced
at Jack Murphy Stadium where
Game One is scheduled for
Tuesday night. “Nobody can
take away those 104 wins from
my players, whether it be San
Diego or Chicago.”
The Tigers’ 104-58 mark is a
club record, one game better
than the 1968 team which also
was the last Detroit club to play
in the World Series.
“We’ve had pressure all
season long,” said right-hander
Jack Morris, who will go against
San Diego left-hander Mark
Thurmond in Game One. “After
we went 35-5 from the start,
people said we weren’t really
that good of a team and maybe
we weren’t, but we didn’t fold
after that and we didn’t fold
under the pressure all season
long.”
The Tigers are a team that has
been meticulously put together
by Anderson and General
Manager Bill Lajoie.
Anderson, with his “My way
or the highway” philosophy,
shipped out players like Steve
Kemp, Jason Thompson and
Champ Summers — who landed
with the Padres. He built the
team on a foundation of short
stop Alan Trammell, second
baseman Lou Whitaker, catcher
Lance Parrish and pitchers Mor
ris and Dan Petry.
He was patient with slugger
Kirk Gibson and squeezed all
the talent there was from
veteran pitcher Milt Wilcox.
Lajoie dealt for outfielders
Chet Lemon, Larry Herndon
and Ruppert Jones. He also
engineered the late spring trade
that brought relief ace Willie
Hernandez and first baseman
Dave Bergman to the Tigers.
Lajoie also slugged it out with
17 other big league teams and
signed free agent Darrell Evans
over the winter.
“This team will always be the
most special to me,” Anderson
said.yWhen I got to Cincinnati,
fheiie* were four future Hall of
Famers. already waiting for me.
But here, all we had was some
kids and a lot of hope.
49ers drop N.Y., 31-10
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
(AP) — Joe Montana threw two
touchdown passes and Dana
McLemore returned a punt 79
yards for another score as the
undefeated San Francisco 49ers
struck three times in the open
ing 7Va minutes and routed the
New York Giants 31-10 in a Na
tional Football League game
Monday night.
Montana teamed with
speedster Renaido Nehemiah on
a 59-yard scoring play and flip
ped a 1-yard TD toss to tight end
John Frank as the 49ers scored
on their first two possessions.
McLemore’s punt return turn
ed the nationally televised game
into a laugher minutes later. He
fielded a Dave Jennings' punt at
his 21 after being bumped by
Terry Kinard of the Giants,
broke toward the center of the
field and outran the rest of the
New York defenders down the
right sidelines.
Just seven minutes and 33
.seconds had elapsed, but the
Giants. 3-3, never were close
again.
Montana, who for the second
week wore a flak jacket to pro
tect a rib injury, added a third
touchdown pass on an 8-yard
swing pass to fullback Roger
Craig in the second quarter as
San Francisco took a 28-3
halftime lead. The 6-0 start is
the best in club history and
keeps the 49ers alongside
Miami as the only undefeated
teams in the league.
Montana left the game early
in the fourth quarter after com
pleting 15 of 24 passes for 207
yards.
The Giants, embarrassed for
the second consecutive week,
were coming off a humiliating
33-12 loss to the Los Angeles
Rams.
A|i Haji-Shiekh, mired in a
. season-long slump, booted a
20-yard field goal for New York
late in the first quarter, but
missed a 30-yarder late in the
second quarter.
It apparently was all the
crowd of 70,000-plus at Giants
Stadium could stand. Many left
rather than stay for the second
half.
