Dodgers make Russell official Lasorda successor ■ CONTRACT: The former interim manager gets a two-year contract By John Nadel The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Bill Rus sell, who succeeded Tom La sorda as the Los Angeles Dodgers’ manager at midsea son, will hold the job for at least two more years. Russell, who played for the Dodgers from 1970-86 and was their starting shortstop for most of that time, becomes only the third manager of the team in 43 years. “It’s a great day,” a choked up Russell said today at a packed Dodger Stadium news conference. "I feel very fortu nate to follow Walter Alston, Tommy Lasorda. I just hope I can do my share, to carry on the tradition. “We went to the postseason this year. That’s not good enough. Our ultimate goal is to get to the World Series.” Terms of Russell’s contract were not announced. The Los Angeles Times reported today it was worth about $700,000. The Dodgers also an nounced they were retaining the entire coaching staff and adding former Dodgers catcher Mike Scioscia as bench coach. Russell, 47, served as the team’s bench coach for 2 1/2 seasons before succeeding La sorda June 25 — one day after Lasorda was hospitalized with what turned out to be a mild heart attack. Lasorda, who underwent an angioplasty a day later and an other last Friday, announced July 29 he was retiring as man ager, and Russell was chosen to succeed him for the remain der of the season. Lasorda, 69, managed the Dodgers for nearly 20 seasons before becoming a vice presi dent of the club upon his re tirement. He succeeded Al ston, who held the job for 23 years. “Billy’s been like a son to me,” Lasorda said at today’s news conference. “I’m ex tremely proud of him. He’s served his apprenticeship.” He’s going to make an out standing manager. He’s al ready proven that.” Russell guided the Dodgers to a 49-37 record and a berth in the playoffs. Orioles protest call, not lack of security ■ PROTEST: Baltimore is protesting umpire Rich Garcia’s Game 1 ruling on Derek Jeter’s home run that led to a 5-4 New York win By Ronald Blum The Associated Press NEW YORK — The Baltimore Orioles formally asked acting commissioner Bud Selig and AL presi dent Gene Budig to overturn their Game 1 loss to the Yankees, saying “the best interests of baseball de mand no less.” Pressing their claim that the game-tying, eighth inning home run by Derek Jeter should be over turned because of fan interference, Orioles owner Peter Angelos and general manager Pat Gillick sub mitted a five-page written protest Thursday that in cluded five attached pages of newspaper articles. Baltimore asked that Game 1 of the American League championship series be resumed with the Orioles ahead 4-3 in the eighth and Jeter at the plate. “The best interests of baseball demand that this wrong be righted,” the Orioles said. “The best inter est of the baseball fans is not served by the silence on the part of those who have a responsibility to speak. Here, millions of fans, the national media, and the umpire himself have already spoken. It is time now for the commissioner to safeguard the in tegrity and restore public confidence in baseball.” Jeter’s homer, pulled over the wall by a 12-year old fan on Wednesday, tied the game 4-4 and New York won 5-4 in the 11th on a home run by Bernie Williams. “This is an extraordinary protest based on extra ordinary events,” the protest said. “A human error by the umpire, making a mistaken call, would not justify the attention of the commissioner and league president. A fan impulsively interfering with the play would not justify your attention. This protest, however, strikes at the very essence of major league baseball: integrity and consistent application of the U Unlike an ordinary protest, the merits of the Orioles protest go far beyond challenging the umpire’s judgment. The integrity of the game is at issue. The bedrock of the national pastime is the consistent application of fair rules. —The Baltimore Orioles In a statement protesting Game 1 -93 rules.” When Orioles manager Davey Johnson discussed the protest after Wednesday’s game, he said it was based on the lack of security in the right-field seats, not the blown call by umpire Rich Garcia. Johnson said before the game that he had been assured there would be enough security in the outfield comers to prevent fan interference. Under baseball’s rules, protests are not permitted on judgment calls. But a lack of security was not ad dressed in the written protest. “Unlike an ordinary protest, the merits of the Ori oles protest go far beyond challenging the umpire’s judgment,” the Orioles said. “The integrity of the game is at issue. The bedrock of the national pas time is the consistent application of fair rules.” Garcia admitted after the game that Jeter’s ball would not have gone over the fence, saying it proba bly would have been a double off the wall. Replays appeared to show that right fielder Tony Tarasco was about to catch the fly ball. The Orioles cited AL rule 3.13, which states that an umpire’s judgment call can’t be reversed “except that he be convinced that it is in violation of one of the rules.” ADVERTISING POLICY PAYMENT Prepayment is required unless billing has been estab lished.
