Port Perry 6 -- Whitby In March, while parts of Canada are still in the grips of winter, the baseball beat in Florida is the goal of sports- writers. There's nothing better than a few weeks in the Florida sunshine; - all expenses" paid, and a return home to find the mess of winter and early spring has faded away. When Whitey Ford and Mickey Mantle were the big guns for the Yankees, and Warren Spahn and Lew Bur- dette were blowing down the opposition in Milwaukee, I had the pleasure of several such springs. The 1,500-mile drive from the snow of Ontario, New York and Pennsylvania to the rains of Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia to the sun of Florida, was never as hard as the drive back. Or, for that matter, as tedious as the 20-hour train trip to Boston with the hockey 'Maple Leafs. 'And once in Florida, a base" hall writer had a field day. Within a short driving distance were all the major league con- tenders, all eager to paint a rosey picture for the coming season. i Ted Williams was near the end of his great. career, but still good copy for a visiting reporter. Despite all the sto- ries, Williams was one of the casiest people to interview, provided, of course, you didn't try and delay him on a day he had a fishing expedition Don Hunt planned. In fact, the hetter the ath- lete, whether it is football, hockey or baseball, the easier the interview. The fringe ball player is the one with the chip on his shoulder -- the star doesn't have to pretend he's good. And this spring, there's more than the usual interest for Canadians as their Mont- real Expos: 'work out in West Palm Beach. After all, if the New' York Mets can win a World Sepies. so soon after their disastrous introduction to * baseball, then the Expos can't be far behind. Manager Gene Mauch has a lot of holes to fill to make the Expos a threat. But the fans and the press-in Montreal have really swung hehind the team at the expense of the hockey Canadiens, so Mauch has no serious worries. For the next few weeks, let's take a look at both leagues and predict a finish, starting with the established American League East. The Baltimore Orioles ran away with the American League championship last year and that probably helped to kill them in the Series. But any team with an outfield of Don Buford (.291) Paul Blair (.285) and Frank Robinson (.308), has to..bounce back. The pitching is-sold with Mike Cuellar ~ (23-11) Dave Mec- Nally, (20-7) and Jim Palmer (16-4), backed by Tom Phoe- bus (14-7). Add the power of Boog Powell (37 homers, 121 RBIs, .304) the glove of Brooks Robinson and the glove and bat of shortstop Mark Be- langer (.287) and it spells champion. The biggest threat would have Lome from Detroit, but the Toss of Dennis McLain . should ruin the Tigers. He was their stopper in '68 and de- spite some poor support, won a league high of 24 last year. Mickey Lolich is a solid. lefty who should have won 20 last year (19-11). But back of him arc only Canadian Mike Kil- kenny (8-6). and veterans Earl Wilson and Joe Nierko. And Al Kaline is near the end, catcher Bill Freehan has to play every day, and the infield is medi- ocre at best. That leaves Washington and Boston to challenge Baltimore. Pitching should stop both of them. The Red Sox (on paper) have the pitchers, but that's if Jim Lonbirg finds his '67 form, Gary Peters becomes a winner in his new home and Jose Santiago's arm'recovers. A lot of question marks. The rest of the team is strong with an outfield of Reggie Smith, Carl © Yastrzemski and Tony Conigliaro, plus the bat of all. star Rico Petrocelli at short. Ted Williams needs to per- form a miracle with the pitch-, ers this season if Washington is to threaten. Dick 'Bosman (14-5) is as good as they come, but the depth isn't there. The other two clubs, New York" Yankees and Cleveland Indians, hoth are rebuilding and need a. surprise or six to challenge. | The finish: 1.Baltimore; 2- Boston; 3-Detroit; 4-Washing- ton; 5-New York- 6-Cleveland.
