Now it is 2C01 and time for tlie youth baseball players plus parents and fans to pick their favorite professional athletes. I like Ken Griffey Jr. cause he hits the ball a long ways," said Western Boys Baseball Association athlete, Weston Crosier. Another youngster, (Fred Ogden addod, I like Sammy Sosa. He hits tots of homers. It is ftin to watch him belt one out. Mark McGwire is my favorite. He hasn't played much this year, but he will be back and hit more homers, commented Corey Hicken. "I also like GrilTey Jr. He is a good player, added Brayton Liaonbee. His brother, Todd said, I like Chipper Jones. He hits good and my buddy plays for the Braves team in Roosevelt and Jones is on the Atlanta Droves. Jesse Baucum switched sports. "My favorite pro atidete iB John Stock-to- n ofthe Utah Jazz. He gives the ball to Karl Malone, who slam dunks it. Stockton is the e assists leader in the NBA, and he helped lead the Utah Jazx to two visits to the championship finals. Griffey Jr is the most famous Jr because his dad, Ken Griffey had a longcareer with the Cincinnati Reds and New York Yankees, and his son after playing for Seattle joined his dad's former team, the Reds. Griffey Jr. hit 66 homers for Seattle in 1998. McGwire broke the season home run record of 6 1 by Roger Maris with 70 in 1998. Chipper Jones helped lead the Braves to the 1995 World Series crown. Ho drove in 1 10 runs in 1996. The Cubs' Sosa gave McGwire a battle for the home run record in 1998, and finished as the runner-u- p with 66. Sosa led McGwire in the home run chase briefly when he knocked one out in a day game late in the season Adults in the crowd had some fa "r4HT"rrrrrr BASF' BALL FAN - Zack Trujillo roots for Derek Jeter 14 & 15 Flrst Annual of area."

Berry led tho nation in punt returns while at BYU and returned several interceptions for TDs while with the 49ers. Maybe some day an interviewed youngster will have people claiming him as their e hero? W7(3'?(3 MffflWQMgJ Attention Sl rough one as his last second shot won the title and beat the Jazz. To make Jazz supporters feel better, Jordan Hackfordsaid, I like the Jazz and Karl Malone plus Bryon Russell and John Stockton. (With a first name of Jordan shouldnt he be a Michael Jordan supporter?) Howard Todd recalled his baseball days of playing the sport for the town ofBennett (home ofthe Houstons & others) with Orlando Rachele and others. Howard didn 'tpicka favorite pro player, but if he had he probably would haif selected former As hurler from the 1970's Jim Todd or 1898 pitcher, Frank Todd (no relation to either one). Finally, O. Rachele decided to pick a couple ofathletes, whoare probably unknown to the average fin. Tris Speaker is the beet because he played a shallow center field like I did. My No. 1 football player is the greatest athlete ever in Carbon County-Re- x Berry . He played for BYU and the San vorite pro players with Erie Wilde voicing support for football athlete, Steve Young, formerly of the San Francisco 49ero, who had a wild run-nin- g scrambling style where he would get clobbered often by defensive players. I like him cause my boyfriend docs, she said. He took those hits, kept on ticking, but had to letire. Young led the 49ers to a Super Bowl win, but concussions forced him to quit. Connie Gay ler added, Ive always like John Elway of the Broncos. He final ly won a Super Bowl several years ago. Elway has always been a favorite of local fans because Efenver is next door to Utah. It was back to round ball sports for Alawna Eldrodge. She said, I like Ryne Sandberg, formerly of the Chicago Cubs. It is too bad he retired several years ago because the Cubs are doing great now. However, my real favorite is pro golfer, Paul 'Azinger. He came back from bone cancer. My baby is rooting for a basketball player cause he likes dribblers. Sandberg belted out 40 homers the 1990 season. Azinger won the PGA Championship when he beat Greg Norman in the second hole of a sudden death playoff, and holed out from the bun ker to win another tourney in 1 993. He had lymphoma in his rightshoulder blade, butreturned to play golf after treatment I likeJeffHornacek,formerlyof the Jazz. He is a team player and a good old boy," commented Laurie Davis. Hornacek was a top three-poishooter for the Jazz. It was time to return to youthful comments with Zack Trm'illo rooting for a New York Yankee. 1 like Derek Jeter. He is a good shortstop and plays for the lVorld Champion Yankees, he said. Jeter and his teammates won World Series titles in 1!'' L'nii-- r D1 .1; ;hc ji tlYj Herra Warren-Sale- s Associate.
