Dave Scanow and Dave Kanold stepped down as Senior baseball returns to Oakville for '93 And Oakville field boss Rob Fisher also wants a better commit- ment from the players. Over the years he’s had a problem with play- ers showing up late for pre-game warm-ups and missing games and practices without advance notice. Last season, the team finished with a.9-18 record and'missed post- season play. Battling Streetsville for the fourth and final playoff spot, the A's were horrible when it counted most, committing a ghastly 14 errors in its last two games. ' “We wanted to change things around. Everything seemed to be going stale the last three or four years even though we won the league two years ago (1991)...I wantguys out that want to play â€" not just guys that show up and expect to play.” “It’s a new look â€" whether it falls into place or not, who knows,” Fisher said after the team’s first practice last weekend. The team’s name has been changed from the A’s to the White Sox and the uniforms will be identical to the namesake Chicago entry in major lea ue baseballâ€" black buttoned tops, black caps and " white pants. A new name, new uniforms and a hungrier attitude. The Oakville senior baseball team is hoping these three components translate into a better on-field prod- uct than the one that limped home in the Central Ontario Baseball Association last season By TOM MICHIBATA Oakville Beaver staff WAREHOUSE 2555 Bristol Circle, Oakville 829- 5900 TOWNE ’ CHEV-OLDS MACK CANADA INC.

Practices continue this weekend and next. White Sox ppen the 27égame regular season at home May 10th against the Sheridan Royals at Oakville Park. Ex-junior Scott Antoniak will bat- tle for a job at first base. The 'rest of the infield is interchangeable. Ken Collett, Jeff Brake, Drew Spencer and Derek Pogue are the incumbents. SHEB Newcomers Kelly Gray and Shawn Davis are also in the equation. Behind the plate Oakville is awaiting the recovery of veteran Doug Anderson from off-season elbow surgery. Selwyn and Brenner Everts and Marc Angers are fron- trunners for the three outfield spots. “I was fed up at the end of last year,” Fisher admit- ted. “I was ready to sign up for the Lakeshore men’s league (in Burlington). But Pat Noonan got me going again. Now, most of the important things have been taken care of.” co-presidents in the off-season and no-one volunteered to fill the void. But when first baseman Pat Noonan offered to assist, Fisher took the title as president. Cross Ave. GO John Breckon, Roy Skinner and Mark Scarrow are returnees on the hill. Wayne Porterfield may be avail- able after taking last year 'off and newcomer Blair Stewart will also warrant alook. One thing that hasn’t changed about the White Sox is that hitting shouldn’t be a problem, although pitching and catching might be. Wl'PCO CANADA INC. 1485 Spears Rd..
