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.”
