Jr. and two bats broken by Minnesota Twins players Todd Wafer and Marty Cordova in his home. Mendez was a bat boy for the Seattle Manners when they played at Minnesota this month. - Layton teen works Twins game; sees Griffey hit four homers By JANIS CARTER SiandarO Enamner correspondent - When Steven Mendez was had season tickets to the Buzz games. He knew then ' that he wanted to be a part of the baseball atmosphere and excitement, so he asked the club house manager, Rick Pollack, about a job as a bat boy. . . Telling Mendez that he had to be at least 16, he said to come back and talk to him in a ;couple of years. ' In March of 1996. Mendez went back to .Pollack for the job. Remembering him. Pollack hired him to work the season. Mendez loved the job, and when he returned this spring to work again, he found a new club house manager, who left before the season was over, leaving the team hanging. The new managers departure turned out to be a bonus for Mendez. For the last home stand of the year Mendez and his bat boy partner, Travis Gauchay, were promoted to club house managers. Working hard to wash clothes, polish shoes and feed the team, they did a great job, a visiting team club house manager told them, especially for boys. What we do for the team is whatever they LAYTON We arc at their demand. It was tough, but we got it done and the players appreciated it." Mendez's first boss. Pollack, ended up as the club house manager of the visiting side for the Minnesota Twins. Larlier this summer he invited Mendez to come for a visit, but because of his job with the Buzz and his own baseball schedule. Mendez didn't have time for the visit until the first week of September. At that time his dad arranged for the trip, and the two of them Hew to Minnesota. When they arrived in Minnesota, Pollack showed them around town, plus he had everything set up for Mendez to be a bat boy for a Friday, Saturday and Sunday scries with the Twins playing against the Seattle Mariners. It was somewhat like old home week for Mendez as he saw players he knew, now playing for the Twins, who used to play for the Buzz. He also got a chance to see baseball Hall of Famer, Harmon Killebrew, whom he had met twice before. - At Friday's game, Ken GrifTey Jr. hit his 47th and 48th home runs of the season. When he first came up to bat on Saturday, GrifTey hit his 49th home run, and Sunday he hit his 50th. Mendez said that the intensity level in Major League ball is a lot higher than it is in Salt Lake City. The players know what they have to do to win, making it seem more like going to a job everyday.

I was just tickled for him as he was grinning from ear to ear, Mendez's father. Steve, said. Mendez has loved baseball ever since he was old enough to walk. His first experience was with a big Fred ITintstonc bat and ball. Hoping that all of his baseball dreams come true, his dad also said that sports have made a big difference in his son's life, giving him a lot of and something wholesome and worthwhile to be involved in. Both 'of Mendez's parents, Steve and Nancy Mendez, support him in sports, from the time he started right up through Legion Ball. Mendez, a senior at St. Joseph's Catholic High School in Ogden, has played baseball on the varsity team for three years now, and wants to pursue baseball professionally. d But he is planning on going to school at Gonzaga in Spokane, Wash., because if baseball doesn't work out he would like to be in medicine. That way I'll always have a knowledge of something else, he said.

For example, there are a cou The dwarf Norway spruce is even smaller. It has blue-gree- n needles, and gets no more then 5 feet tall. Or, consider firs, he says.
