N.Y. Subway Series pulling up to familiar stop
By Ben Walker
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The New York
Mets are finding out what the
Brooklyn Dodgers and New York
Giants learned long ago. The Yan
kees are hard to beat in a Subway
Series.
What Derek Jeter started with a
home run on the very first pitch, the
bullpen finished off. The New York
Yankees downed the Mets 3-2
Wednesday night and closed within
one victory of their third straight
World Series title.
“We’re one win from where we
want to be,” Jeter said.
Game 4 marked the Yankees’
third one-run victory of the Series.
A sellout crowd of 55,290 at Shea
Stadium seemed much more sub
dued than for the Mets’ 4-2 win in
Game 3, possibly because of a much
larger presence of Yankees rooters.
Also, the noise blaring from the
center-field speakers was turned
down, probably because Mets co
owner Nelson Doubleday com
plained about the volume.
The ballpark figures to be a lot
louder — either way — on Thurs
day night when the Yankees try to
become the first team since the
1972-74 Oakland Athletics to win
three titles in a row.
Andy Pettitte will start Game 5
against the Mets’ Al Leiter. Of the
prior 40 teams to take a 3-1 lead in
the World Series, 34 have gone on
to win the championship.
The last team to blow a 3-1 deficit
was St. Louis in 1985 to Kansas City.
“Well, it's someplace I’ve been be
fore, but it’s certainly not familiar
and surefire stuff,” Yankees manag
er Joe Torre said.
If the Yankees win, they hope to
have a dry clubhouse for a celebra
tion. Severe flooding from a burst
pipe soaked their locker room, in
cluding furniture that Yankees own
er George Steinbrenner brought
from Yankee Stadium, and forced
players to conduct post-game inter
views on the field.
“All of a sudden, the massage
room and the weight area and the
hot tub area, it was like Niagara
Falls,” winning pitcher Jeff Nelson
said. “The ceiling collapsed, there
was water everywhere. This green,
gunky water.”
The night certainly started out
well for the Yankees.
Moved up to the lead-off spot for
the first time in this Series, Jeter de
livered. He became the first player
to homer on the opening pitch of a
World Series game since Pete Rose
for Cincinnati in 1972.
“I’ve been known to swing at the
first pitch,” Jeter said. “When you
play games like this, you want to
score early. I got a good pitch to hit,
and I hit it well.
“We’re playing at Shea Stadium,
and even though there are a few
Yankee fans here, you want to take
the crowd out of the game,” he said.
Even though Torre calls his star
shortstop a “kid,” Jeter might soon
be the owner of four Series rings at
age 26.
Jeter’s shot off Bobby J. Jones sent
the Yankees on their way.
Said Jones: “I wasn’t expecting
him to swing.”
“Putting a run on the board was
the difference in the game,” Mets
manager Bobby Valentine said.
Mike Piazza’s two-run homer
closed the Mets to 3-2 in the third
inning, and there was no more scor
ing as both managers made early
moves to the bullpen.
Yankees starter Denny Neagle
was pulled after 4 2-3 innings with a
3-2 lead, with David Cone coming
in to retire Piazza on a pop-up to
end the fifth.
Nelson pitched 1 1-3 innings,
Mike Stanton struck out the only
two batters he faced in the seventh
and Mariano Rivera pitched two in
nings for his first save of the series.
Rivera was helped when right
fielder Paul O’Neill made a sliding
catch on Edgardo Alfonzo’s liner to
start the eighth. Yankees fans erupt
ed when Rivera earned his sixth ca
reer World Series save, tying Rollie
Fingers’ record, by striking out Matt
Franco to end the game.
Strawberry arrested.. .again
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — For the sec
ond time in as many months, Darryl
Strawberry is required to stand be
fore a criminal court judge.
On Thursday, a judge was to de
cide whether Strawberry should be
jailed for at least 30 days after the
troubled slugger was accused of
leaving a residential drug treatment
center for a weekend crack and pre
scription drug binge.
Strawberry, who along with his
legal troubles has cancer, was arrest
ed Wednesday on charges he violat
ed the house arrest he was serving
at the treatment center.

ing valuables in December. Give a little at
home in February, and you'll get more in re
turn. You outweigh the competition in May.
Don't pay too much, even for a good thing, in
June. By July you should be ready for a cruise
on the love boat. If you don't have a mate, you
may find one there. You and a few good friends
take new territory in September.

GEMINI (May 21 -June 21)—Today is a 7 —
Your best time for romance today is early. As
the day goes on, you get busier. Tonight you

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)—Today is a 6
