Close call. Trail goalie poke checks the puck away from a Castlegar forward during
the Saturday afternoon eee Rep game at the Community Complex.

A lot's been happening in the world of pro sports over the last week
so I thought now would be a good time to take a look around the Bigs.
Baseball: The Big Trade - Toronto sends Freddy McGriff and Tony
Fernandez to San Diego for Joe Carter and Roberto Alomar. The Blue
Jays gave up some heart looking for some soul. Femandez can hit for
average, get on base, steal a few and even ding a half dozen or so out of

3 the park. What will be missed most though is his gold glove at shoststop

- those seemingly effortless accurate throws to first as he glides through
the air toward second. Manny Lee will be bard pressed to fill his shoes.
Alomar should adequately fill Lee’s shoes at second base. Joe Carter is
slated to take over for the dearly departed George Bell who will not be
missed. Carter and McGriff post similar numbers with McGriff having
the edge in home runs and average while Carter is a better clutch hitter.
‘What Toronto is looking for is the leadership and intensity the big man
has to offer, something only Kelly Gruber and Pat Borders showed
flashes of as the team did their annual fold again last year.

Hockey: Ottawa and Tampa Bay are awarded franchises for the 92/93
season. Tampa Bay has Phil Esposito and Japanese backers but most

people are still trying to figure out how Ottawa beat out Hamilton. One

thing for sure, if the Hockey Senators are anything like their political

think so but stoically accepted the

“We could have won the game
if we bad stayed out of the penalty

but Trail took the game away from
them, scoring 6 powerplay goals,
