In matching the second-closest vote in the history of the Ameri can League Cy Young, Hentgen, 20-10 with a 3.22 ERA, received 16 first-place votes, nine seconds and three thirds for 110 points. “I feel honored that my name’s next to that award forever,” Hent gen said. “To be honest, I definite ly prepared myself to come in sec ond. I was a little shocked. I think I’m overwhelmed right now.” Pettitte, 21-8 with a 3.87 ERA, had been considered the favorite. He drew 11 firsts, 16 seconds and one third for 104 points in ballot ing by the Baseball Writers Asso ciation of America. “When the season ended and I was talking to my wife, I told her Pat deserved it,” Pettitte said. “He was totally dominating. I didn’t go out and dominate games. Of course, I didn’t get complete games with the set-up we had.” Yankees set-up man Mariano Rivera earned the other first-place vote and finished third with 18 points. “All the talk was that I would definitely win,” Pettitte said. “I’m like, these people know some thing I don’t.... I was a little sur prised.” The closest vote came in 1969 when Mike Cuellar and Denny McLain tied. In 1972 Gaylord Per ry beat Wilbur Wood 64-58. Hentgen, who turns 28 today, led the majors in complete games (10) and innings (265 2-3) and was second in ERA behind team mate Juan Guzman (2.93). Hent gen pitched three shutouts, tying Hill and Kevin Brown of Florida for the major league lead. After going 8-6 with a 3.86 ERA before the All-Star break, he was 12-4 with a 2.58 ERA in the sec ond half. “Things just snowballed for me in the second half,” Hentgen said. “There was just a point where I knew I could go out and pitch a good game.” He won his 20th game on the fi nal day of the season, leading Toronto over Baltimore 4-1 at the SkyDome. He had a chance to win his 20th against Baltimore on the final weekend three years ago, but Toronto lost to Rick Sutcliffe 8-4. “I think when I look back at ’93 in Camden Yards, going for my 20th win, I was a little nervous,” Hentgen said. Pettitte, 24, led the AL in victo ries and went 13-3. He pitched for many months despite soreness in his throwing arm. “I didn’t even think I’d make it through the season if you asked me in the middle of the season when my elbow was killing me,” he said. Charles Nagy of Cleveland was fourth with 12 points, followed by Mike Mussina of Baltimore with five. Alex Fernandez and Roberto Hernandez of the White Sox were tied for sixth with one point along with Ken Hill of Texas. Hentgen, who made $2.25 mil lion, gets a $50,000 bonus for win ning the award. Indians attempt to keep slugger ■ FREE AGENCY: Albert Belle may also be visiting the Florida Marlins CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Indians have made a rich offer to free agent slugger Albert Belle. If they want to keep him, it looks like they will have to make an even richer one. “We’re in the game. I guess that’s the safest way to v put it,” Cleveland General Manager John Hart said. ^ “We’re not close, but I think we’ve sent the right mes sage to Albert that we want him.” The Indians have reportedly offered Belle $8.5 mil lion a year for four or five years, whichever the slug ger prefers. That’s more than the five-year, $38 mil lion offer that Belle rejected in spring training. Negotiations stalled during the season, and Belle be came a free agent Oct. 28. Hart assured Belle’s agent, Arn Tellem, that this was not the final offer. It has been widely reported that Belle is seeking a contract that would pay him $10 million a year and make him baseball’s highest J paid player. “I suppose if we don’t have a deal, that means the offer was not acceptable,” Tellem said. Belle is allowed to start talking money with other teams Friday. The Plain Dealer reported Tuesday that Belle had an appointment with the Florida Mar lins that day, but that it might be pushed back to next week because of scheduling conflicts. A Marlins spokeswoman said Tuesday she knew of no such meeting. Hart said he is working on a contingency plan in case Belle doesn’t re-sign with the Indians. “We might have to build a club without Albert,” Hart said. Tellem, who represented NBA star Reggie Miller in lengthy contract negotiations with the Indiana Pacers, predicted Belle would be signed by Thanks giving. “I don’t think it’s to anyone’s benefit to drag this out,” Tellem said. Belle was the top player in baseball the last two seasons, according to statistical rankings by the Elias Sports Bureau. In 1995 he became the first player to hit 50 homers and 50 doubles in a season. Last year Belle hit .311 with 48 homers and 148 RBIs. From 1991-96 Belle led the majors with 234 homers. Barry Bonds was second with 217. Belle’s production never has been a problem. His behavior has. Belle has been suspended five times during his six-year professional career for various in fractions, including berating a TV reporter at the 1995 World Series and using excessive force in knocking over Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Fernando Vina in a game marred by brawls. The Indians have some other potentially big bills coming due soon. All-star center fielder Kenny Lofton is playing out his option in 1997, and third baseman Jim Thome is signed through 1997 with a club option for 1998. Free agent reliever Eric Plunk has reportedly re jected a two-year, $2 million offer. Baseball negotiations at a standstill ■ LABOR: Bud Selig and Donald Fehr were expected to speak, but have not By Ronald Blum The Associated Press NEW YORK — Chances for a baseball labor deal withered some more Tuesday when acting com missioner Bud Selig failed to con tact union head Donald Fehr. After their meeting Monday, Selig said he wanted to think about his position overnight, and Fehr told him to call before mid day Tuesday, when he planned to leave the office for the day. Selig didn’t call until after Fehr left his office. A conference call of baseball’s ruling executive council was scheduled for Tuesday night. Fehr and management negotia tor Randy Levine set a Thursday midnight EST deadline for a deal. After that, free agents can start signing with new teams, and the sport would be locked into anoth er off-season under the rules of the contract that expired December 1993. Meanwhile, it appeared that Thursday’s summit meeting on umpires at Scottsdale, Ariz., would be postponed. The meeting was scheduled last month during the controversy that followed the Roberto Alomar-John Hirschbeck incident in which Baltimore's sec ond baseman spit at the umpire. Alomar received a five-game suspension to be served at the start of next season, and umpires threatened to strike in response to what they thought was too weak a penalty. Events surrounding the labor talks made it unlikely that Selig and Fehr would be able to attend, and a new date for the meeting is expected to be announced today. UA player receives probation for hitting Oregon State mascot CORVALLIS, Ore. — An Arizona football player has been sentenced to two years of probation and 100 hours of community service for hitting a woman wearing the Oregon State University Beavers’ mas cot costume during a game last year. Frank Middleton pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of harassment in con nection with the incident. I_ He was charged after hitting Marri Hollen, a woman dressed in Oregon State’s “Benny Beaver” costume, Nov. 4,1995. Middleton played tackle for the Arizona Wildcats, who were celebrating a touchdown when he hit her on the nose. Dickerson also ordered Mid dleton to pay Hollen $500.
