Mickey Mantle once told teammate Joe I wish I could buy you for what youre really worth and sell you for what you think youre worth Baseball players and team owners usually have much different opinions as to the value of an individuals ser vices Nowhere is this more obvious than in arbitration proceedings that have been going on recently Salary arbitration was instituted in so that yearly contract problems between players and teams could be settled relatively quickly by an im partial third party A baseball player who qualifies for the process official ly submits a salary request and the club submits an offer The arbitrator listens to each side present its case and rules in favor of one or the other No compromise by the arbitrator is allowed one of the two figures must be picked In fact the majority of arbitration cases are settled by the two sides be fore the ever takes place Thus the filing of salary offers and demands creates official positions from which to bargain further What about There were ings left and right in the weeks follow ing the exchange of salary arbitration figures on Jan In one of the big gest cases pitcher Roger Clemens filed a request for this sea son the Boston Red Sox offered 0000 A before the arbitra tion hearing Clemens agreed to Bos tons offer of a threeyear pact for million Keep in mind that majorleague baseball players whether or not they went through arbitration earned an average of in 1988 This season the pay levels being dis puted in the arbitration process were remarkably similar in both leagues I A I N G Asphalt Concrete Private S Industrial Commercial The official arbitration differences this season ranged from in the case between pitcher Bill Krueger sought and the Pittsburgh Pirates 140000 offered to a half- million dollars between Eric Davis and the Cincinnati Reds 1650000 sought to 1150000 offered Hershiser of Los Angeles and Gooden of New York submitted de mands of better than 2 million And 19 others requested more than 1 million Going into arbitration the clubs of fered at least 1 million to players topped by a million proposal to by Los Angeles Of six Cincinnati Reds to file for ar bitration four submitted figures of better than million This gave the Reds an average arbitration differen tial of per man the highest disputed totals of any team Many in baseball believe that arbi tration is a nolose numbers game for the players When its time to ac tually file the club ordinarily will raise its previous salary offer to in crease its chance of winning The player on the other hand is usually willing to submit a fairly high number Even if he loses the clubs figure likely will be greater than what It originally had offered to him If the player wins jackpot STORE HOURS pm except Thursday A

MEADOWS NURSERY GARDEN CENTER For All Your Gardening Needs 8731200 BRAND REALTY INC By Hughes Sales Rep REPRINTED FROM FEBRUARY 1989 Its been a week I really want to forget Either Im a maniac in get ting little details attended to or the rest of the world lives in a different strata than I How is it that my clients can get their homes ready for sale in a day or so and it takes me the better part of a week and Im a wreck at the end of it Ill never again be so blase with you when you tell me that you need more time to prepare need notice for showings need to call the painters need to straighten the cupboards and need to see the psychiatrist This is not funny and I hope that I can live through this to tell you the final results However I can report after what seemed like endless hours everything has been done but my family is looking at me in strange ways Ive noticed that they talk in hushed tones when they are around me my hubby takes me out for dinner so as not to dirty a dish and my secretaries are being so pa tient with me cause they know Im very fragile I really do know now why my clients are so happy when I go over to put up a sold sign its not because they have a deal its because they can go back to living normally again always suspected that there was more to their joy than met my brained eyes and now I do know This week when I went to put up that wonderful sign on a home I also d a bottle of champagne to them for there is nothing mudtftvtter to match the news of Youve sold your home than toasting it with cold bubbles I often hear the phrase Fm never moving again and now I can sympathize with the greatest understanding possible Unfortunately is easily forgotten by most of us The mind sorts out all the throws it out and only remembers the good stuff Thank goodness for if that didnt happen real estate agents would be out of a job bulldm wouldnt build new homes and the economy would be in a state So I do know that I vil forget all this pain shortly and probably surely it within the next 5 or years I will go through it wont be as bad next time will it Homes
