Taking a week
off not bad idea

By Hal Bock
The Associated Press

Some baseball purists
shudder over the prospect of
a .199 hitter in right field for
the American League and a
-169 hitter at second base for
the National League when the
All-Star game is played in
Cleveland tonight.

Logic tells you that Reggie
Jackson, the right fielder,
and Davey Lopes, the second
baseman, aren't having All-
Star seasons. So it’s easy for
the second-guessers to nit-
pick the selection process that
put those two into the starting
lineup.

But please excuse this ob-
server if he passes up the
chance to unload on the fans
for this misdemeanor.

Jackson’s batting average
matters not one whit. He is an
All-Star, and will be until the
day he retires. He supplied
one of the game's magic mo-
ments when he hit a gigantic
home run in the 1971 All-Star
game at Tiger Stadium. The
ball was still rising when it hit
a generator box high atop the
ball park.

And Davey Lopes’ remains
one of basebali’s most effi-
cient second basemen, the
glue that helps hold the Dod-
ger infield together. He be-
longs, if for no other reason
than past performance.

As baseball stumbles
around, picking up the pieces
of this shattered summer, it is
discovering, accidentally,
what could be a most re-
freshing approach to future
seasons.

The strike forced a two-

month gap in the season,
hardly desirable for anybody.
But taking one week off might
not be such a bad idea.
Suppose you divided the
season down the middle and
scheduled into that break an
All-Star week. Instead of
making the All-Star break a
hurry-up, three-day affair,
turn it into a real showpiece.

This way, important week-
end revenue would not be lost

should make it most appeal-
ing to the rulers of the king-
dom of baseball.

Two All-Star games would
create more income at the

and ostensibly boost manage-
ment’s contribution to the
players’ pension fund. >

And by playing two games,
it would create a better
chance to showcase all the

“This kind of settlement

said.
