Hines: Individual goals are key
■ continued from Page 5
Hines’ off-season at home did as much to rehabili
tate him physically as it did mentally.
“I was homesick after my first two seasons here,”
Hines said. “I missed my family and friends back
home. The most important thing someone can do to
get back [from injury] is to stay loose, stay in rhythm.”
Hines’ first test this year was in Macon, Ga., with
another Atlanta Braves single A affiliate, the Macon
Braves. By his own accord, Hines struggled to regain
the form that had made him one of the Northwest
League’s toughest hitters a season ago.
For Hines, entering his third season of minor league
baseball, the expectations were higher than ever be
fore. Playing in Macon, only hours from were he grew
up and played his high school and college ball, Hines
found it difficult to focus on baseball.
“I had a slow start in Macon,” Hines said. “The
coaches thought it would be better for me to play
away from home. I guess there were a lot of distrac
tions playing in Georgia. ”
Distractions indeed.
Hines lettered in basketball, baseball and football at
Benjamin E. Mays High School outside Atlanta where
he was first-team all-state at shortstop in high school.
From there he went on to play two seasons in the ju
nior college ranks with Dekalb College in Atlanta.
Hines was first drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers
after his freshman year with Dekalb, but decided not
to sign with them and reentered the draft after his
sophomore season.
In June 1995, Hines’ boyhood dream of playing pro
fessional baseball was realized when the Atlanta
Braves selected him in the 47th-round of the drafr, a
draft pick that brought him to Eugene.
“I like playing in Eugene,” Hines said. “The atmos
phere is real laid back, relaxed. It’s not as fast paced as
Georgia; it’s something you need to get used to. It was
nice to get back after that rough off-season, but I think
the training I did last summer has prepared me better
for this season.”
Prepare him it did.
Through the first 11 games of the 1997 season,
Hines led the Ems in home runs, RBIs, on-base per
centage, slugging percentage and batting average. The
quick start earned him the Black Angus “Player of the
Week Award” as the Emeralds’ top performer during
the opening week.
An amazing feet on a team that dropped nine of
those first 11 games and now sits in the Southern Di
vision cellar with a 2-11 record.
Eugene’s poor start means that Hines, one of the
Ems few veterans, must now lead in the dugout as
well as the plate.
“We’re a lot younger this year than we were last,”
Hines said. “I think a lot of guys are a little bit nervous
when they step to the plate. I know I was in my first
year. I try to just tell them to relax, block out the fans
and the surroundings. Just go out there and hit. ”
As a veteran, Hines has learned that individual
goals are the key to a successful season in baseball.
“I set my goals real high,” Hines said. “It’s hard to
get close to guys on the team because you never know
when someone is going to be gone the next day. I’ve
learned to just take care of myself. That’s the only way
you’re going to make it.”
“Making it” to Hines means, of course, trying to
make it to the big leagues. But if he does not, he plans
to return to Georgia and finish his studies at Dekalb.
A mature decision for one of the Ems’ few remain
ing veteran players.
Frank: Idea ruins All-Star game

sport that still held to its small number of playoff
teams (4), which made the regular season mean
■ something.
And what about the All-Star game?
The best part of the game was that John Kruk
hasn’t faced Randy Johnson before. Or that Greg
Maddux will be facing Tino Martinez for the first
time since last season’s World Series.
Interleague play takes away what makes the All
Star game special.
Of course, there is also the World Series.
Interleague play almost takes the fun out of the
unique matchups it brings.
We’ll already know how Roberto Alomar fares
against Tom Glavine because we can just look back
to the season stats.
But 1 tend to take a purist’s look at these things.
More conventional thinking would say, “Who
cares? Bring those matchups to the regular season;
give the fans something a reason to come to the
games in June, July and August. ”
Who knows, maybe the conventional thinking is
right.
Then again, maybe Milli Vanilli will come back
into style again too.

Emeralds: Eugene travels to Portland

pie hits, going 2-for-4.
Saul, protesting a call at first
base, was thrown out of the game
for the first time this season after
an emotional argument,
Saturday proved to be more of
the same as the Ems managed just
four hits in the 7-0 loss. Ems’
starting pitcher Ryan Schurman
walked six batters and gave up
three runs in five innings of work.
On Sunday, the Ems’ showed
signs of improvement, but did not
capitalize on their scoring oppor
tunities.
Eugene collected eight hits and
at one point led the game 1-0, but
left nine runners on base and lost
the game 5-2.
Salem-Keizer’s Brett Casper hit
three-run home run in the sixth
that broke a 1-1 tie and gave
Salem-Keizer the lead for good.
The Ems now travel to Port
land (8-4) for three games before
returning to Eugene Thursday for
a five-game homestand against
Yakima (3-10).
