SPORTS DO BLUE JAY FANS WANT TO share the blame for Toronto's disma! season, in which the defending division champions finished in fourth place? The fact that Stieb, who admits he has one of the biggest egos in a sport populated by big heads, chose such an outrageous title makes it that much more difficult to — A more appropriate name might have been: READ STIEB? By SCOTT WHITE CP Sports Editor Books written by baseball players generally fall into two categories: season-long diaries that chronicle the day-to-day life of a major league athlete, or auto- biographical efforts that profess to tell the life story of a slugger or pitcher who may be only 25 years old The diaries, such as the 1970 classic Ball Four by Jim Bouton, a mediocre pitcher with a bad team, usually give readers a wonderful behind-the-scenes peek at a part of the game that isn’t featured in the daily sport pages. The more common autobiographies tend to be one-di mensional, ghost-written books that are published during — not after — a player's career when the athlete's accomplishments are still fresh in the book buyer's mind. David Stieb’s Tomorrow I'll Be Perfect falls into the latter category, but unfortunately for the Toronto Blue Jays’ pitcher, his timing is off. Who wants to spend $17.95 on a book by a pitcher who won just seven games in 1986 while losing 12? Do Blue Jay fans, the obvious target of this facile exercise, really want to read about the man who must day I Wasn't That Bad. - Stieb is a five-time all-star who should have been selected the league's top pitcher in 1982 when he had a 17-12 record and allowed an average of about three runs per game — an oversight he details at length in the book. Stieb had other solid, although not outstanding, years but he was always expected to put together one of those truly hence the title. After this past season, though, Toronto supporters are probably tired of waiting for tomorrow from the man who proudly tells us that he earns “about $225 each time I raise my right arm on the pticher’s mound.” NOT HIS FAULT Besides having one of the league's best sliders, Stieb was known far and wide for his ability to glare at teammates who had booted a ball. Although he seemed to turn over a new leaf this season, the book still manages to convey the idea that it’s never Stieb's fault when something goes wrong. In other words, the right-hander who will turn 30 next summer truly believes he’s much better than his 102-92 lifetime record indicates. Anyone who manages to get through Tomorrow I'll Be Perfect will never misspell his name again. With Stieb, the I always comes first. Tomorrow I'll Be Perfect, by Dave Stieb.

But he did say those talks were going along well until the issue of the Bruins com. pensating Buffalo for re leasing feld from his contract came up. “I really don't know all the facts,” said Schoenfeld, fired as Sabres coach after the National Hockey League team's 19-195 start last AUTO BODY & REPAIR WANETA PLAZA TOYOTA Complete Car and Truck Repairs AUTO BODY & PAINTING Bear Creek Road, Trail 364-2588 DEALERSHIPS WANETA PLAZA TOYOTA Bear Creek Road, Trail 364- CENTRAL KOOTENAY IMPORTS "425 Columbia, Castlegar 365-2912 { 1] ; Kootenay Honda (across from Waneta Plaza) Dealer No. 7724 368-3377 MAIN ST.

Eastern fans can't help but feel duped; played for a rube, a sap, by clubs offering little entertainment or drama. Nineteen weeks ago, if you asked the casual fan in the East which teams would fin- ish one-two, the answer would have been Toronto- Hamilton, in no particular order. For 19 weeks, the fans were forced to endure the Schoenfeld ruled out local bedding company ‘| don't think, had any other team asked me, that I would have considered it,” added Schoenfeld, who said he has a special affinity for Boston and the Bruins.

He has the type of personality that through con versation he can motivate.” Record number file for free NEW YORK (AP) — A record number of major league baseball players have filed for free agency. Now, what will happen to them? Fifteen players, including outfielders Brian Downing of the California Angels and Gary Ward of the Texas Rangers, and pitchers Tom my John of the New York Yankees and Jim Clancy of the Toronto Blue Jays, de clared free agency Tuesday, bringing the total to 82 The deadline for filing was 1072 m) All- for lessons, lift agency midnight, and late paper. work could push the number slightly higher. Among the top names who filed earlier were Tim Raines and Andre Dawson of the Montreal Expos, Jack Morris and Lance Parrish of the Detroit Tigers, and Angels’ slugger Reggie Jackson. This year's total over whelmed the 1985 figure of 62, which had been the most since the free-agent system began in 1976. Last year was the first in which the re-entry draft — which had limited players to dealing with only 13 teams — was abolished and allowed players to ne gotiate with any team they chose. But only two free agents actually changed clubs last season, with Juan Beniquez leaving California for the Baltimore Orioles and Dane lorg moving from the Kansas City Royals to the San Diego Padres. The agent for Detroit's Kirk Gibson, the biggest name available last year, said his client did not get a single offer from another team. Several other players, whose teams wanted to re-sign them, said they received similar treatment As a result, the players’ union filed a grievance charg. ing collusion among the owners.
