He had a strong arm but just couldn’t do the sim- ple drills. Look at him ni fe On Fielder and McGriff, who Lawrence Played against in A ball in the South Atlantic League: “People don’t realize just how hard they hif the ball, You were almost fearful of them hitting it to'you. They hit the ball much harder than the other players.” When Lawrence decided to finish with his playing career he felt scouting was the next step.

As for the Mets, Lawrence Says things will change things around after this past season’s mess. “A couple of bad things happened such as players not playing up to Perfor- mance and the (Vince) Coleman thing looks bad for the organization, it’s something they will recti- ty.” (Coleman tossed fire- crackers at fans after a game. Was charged by the Police, pleaded guilty and has yet to be sentence. He has been released by the s.) “Whether it’s. bringing up different players or Starting with new young Players, there will be changes.” He feels that outfielder Bobby Bonilla and pitchers Dwight Gooden and Brett Saberhagen will be Staying. Lawrence also coaches youngsters in Georgetown and Mississauga, something he takes pride in, “We have a winter Pro- gram I run with Ron Chabot (a scout with Blue Jays) for kids who are aspiring to go to college and we try and Prepare them by keeping up with their training.” He says the players who 80 to colleges in Texas, N.Y. State and Alabama are involved in his specialized camp and go through a pro- gram with a complete staff of coaches. As well, Lawrence will be helping with Ontario Youth Baseball Camps for players aged 9-to-16 in December and March and Says that Proper coaching for young players is very important if they are to advance, “We can teach things we’ve learned at the major league level. The younger they are, the more skills they can learn, “Right now their knowl- edge of the game isn’t car- tied through as they get older. The mechanics aren’t Carried through,” Lawrence says he will continue scouting for the Mets. Also that being the Vice President of Mini Dome will keep him busy as the plan is to have 10 domes in Ontario eventually. Since the World Series is front and centre on every baseball fan’s. mind, Lawrence was asked what he thought of the Blue Jays- Phillies match-up. “If the Jays are leading games after five innings, it’s to their advantage and they should win.Their bullpen is much better, Philly has a good staff with Tommy Greene being a key. I’m surprised the way Philly is hitting the long ball. But the Jays line-up is the best I’ve seen, they're solid right through. I think the Jays will take it in seven.” If anybody would like information concering the Mini Dome or-the camps tun by Lawrence, call him at 905-897-4441, RUD WHITING Sales Rep.
