Although played the gateway sack before, Doherty has handled himself more than adequately there. He also has shown a sure love in the outer field.

The pros are boycotting Wimbledon because get this some Yugoslavian was barred from playing because he wont play on the Yugoslav Davis Cup team. Now, a lot of us didnt think you could be barred for refusing to play on a Yugoslav Davis Cup team because we didnt think they had one.

I just want a chance to show what I can do." Starts WeD Doherty started well here, hitting above .300 for the early portion of the season and his average still is hovering around the .300 mark. He even gets tested from time to time against a lefthander. My goal is the same as all other Triple-- players, Doherty said recently. I want to play in the majors and I think I can. But if I go up I think it will have to be as a first base-maI dont think my arm is strong enough to play the outfield in the majors.
