Show The Signpost August 4, 1992 Sports Briefs Associated Press BASEBALL COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. Tom Seaver, Rollie Fingers, Hal Newhouser and the late umpire Bill McGowan were inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday as more than 15,000 fans looked on from the grounds outside the Alfred Clark Gymnasium. This also was the first year Pete Rose would have been eligible for the Hall of Fame, but the doors of Cooperstown were locked to Rose after he was barred from baseball for gambling on the sport. Seaver was named on 425 of the 430 ballots for a record 98.8 percent of the vote by the baseball writers. The previous high was set in 1936 when Ty Cobb garnered 98.23 percent in the first year of balloting. Seaver ended his career with a record of 311-205, a 2.86.earned run average and 61 shutouts. He won three National League Cy Young Awards and a Rookie of the Year award with the New York Mets and is still the club's all-time winner with 198 victories, including 25 in 1969 when New York won the World Series. Fingers retired after the 1985 season with a record 341 saves, broken this year by Boston's Jeff Reardon. He also had seven saves in the World Series and helped Oakland win three consecutive titles from 1972-74. "Prince Hal" Newhouser dominated baseball in the mid 1940s, winning the MVP award in 1944 and 1945. He had a career record of 207-150 from 1939-55. McGowan was the Iron Horse of umpires. In a streak that started in 1925 and ended in midsummer 1941, he worked 2,541 games. He worked eight World Series and four All-Star games. FOOTBALL CANTON, Ohio John Riggins, Lem Barney, Al Davis and John Mackey were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. Riggins likened his 14 years as a punishing running back with the New York Jets and Washington Redskins to conquering nature. He read a poem by Robert Service about man's assault on the Yukon not long after he was presented for induction by NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue. Barney, defensiveback and kick returner in his 1 1 years with the Detroit Lions, used crutches to leave the front steps of the Hall of Fame after the induction ceremonies because of a recent infection after Achilles' tendon surgery. Former Oakland Raiders coach and current television commentator John Madden introduced Davis, his former boss. Davis has served pro football as a scout, assistant coach, head coach, American" Football League commissioner and as an owner. Mackey, the prototype of the modern tight end while with the Baltimore Colts in the 1960s and 1970s, was presented by Jack Kemp, a former AFL quarterback and currently the secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. AUTO RACING BROOKLYN, Mich. Scott Goodyear, who came so close to a surprise victory in the Indianapolis 500, raced to his first Indy-car win in the Marlboro 500 at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday. This time Goodyear won an all-Canadian late-race battle with Paul Tracy, taking the lead for good with 19 laps to go on a spectacular restart following the fifth and final caution flag of the 250-lap race on the two-mile oval. Goodyear recorded a 5.932-second victory, averaging 177.625 mph. Raul Boesel finished third and AlUnser Jr., whobeat Goodyear in the closest Indy 500 in history, was fourth.
