"I Feel Sony for Mitch Wild Thing Williams, pitcher for the Philadelphia Philles, who served up the World Series winninghomer to Joe Carter of tho Toronto Bluqjays.Tha poor guyhaa received nasty comments from fans in the form of letters and eggs, but the yolk is cm hie tormentors as Williams srill be remembered forever aa only the second guy in history to give up a World Series winning homer. The egg throwers and their scrambled brains will be toon forgotten. 1 Wont Shed A Tear For Michael Jordan retiring, but I Feel Sorry forme and all the other hard working folks in the USA. I know Jordan has many personal problems, but I know I would feel better ifI was making $4 million dollars a playing basketball and over million promoting breakfast cereals, soft drinks, shoes, etc. just like Mike. To most people $10,000, $50,000 or $100,000 is a ton of money, end thus it is difficult to believe or feel sorry for someone, who says, No To $4 Million! I Feel Sony for thosefolks who dont appreciate the basketball skills of Utah Jazz power forward Karl Malone. Forget about Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Chris Mullins and even ne the is No. 1 in the NBA as far as I'm concerned. 8 My Uintah Connection Feels Sony for Uintah High School football coach Curg Belcher, but as a 1971 Union High School graduate 1 Wont Shed A Tear because the last second triumph by the Union Cougars over Uintah was absolutely, amazing and awesome. Union ecorad the gams tying touchdown with 37 seconds left and won the ball gams in overtime. I previously worked as Sports Editor in Vernal. Of course all Union High School coaches are classy coaches. I will rank Belcher near the top even though ho coaches at arch-rivUintah. It was a tough way to lose a ball game, but a great way to win 4TH DOWN PASS-T- he Cougars' pass catching wizard, Lane Earl, holds onto the ball after capturing die precious item. Earls pass catch totalled 42 yards and set up Union for its game tying touchdown, which he scored, and Rusty Keels winning touchdown in overtime against Uintah. The Cougars hope for the same against Pine View. with football players from the Roosevelt area. Union High School has qualified for the state tournament for Rachele the second time in three years with athletes such as Scott I Feel Sorry for fans, who didnt outstanding Lane Earl, Brandon Rasmussen, fill the stands for the UnionUintah Shawn Womack, Mark Henrie, football gams in Vernal.
