In his curtain call season with the St. Louis Cardinals, Bob Gibson targets 20 pitching wins and a run at the World Series. The 39-year-old ace recalls injuries and personal struggles that delayed his retirement, yet remains focused on helping his team win despite chronic pain.
In an intrasquad game at St. Louis Cardinals camp, the Kissella beat the Vern Bensons 3-0 as Ron Fairly drove in two runs with a homer and a single. Iron Mike, the pitching machine, allowed 10 runs to Kissells and four to Bensons. The Reds faced the machine, which threw strikes but pitched beanballs, injuring Darrel Chaney and Ken Griffey before play resumed. Exhibition season opens with five games. Roy White debuts at first for the Yankees, while the Expos renew Dave McNally’s contract after a holdout.
The Milwaukee Brewers plan to pay Hank Aaron about 200000 this season hoping his bat boosts offense as a designated hitter. Team expectations hinge on Aaron’s era up to 738 home runs and the young roster maturing to support a contending bid in the American League East. Manager Del Crandall praises Aaron’s impact, while the infield and outfield around him, led by Robin Yount and Gorman Thomas, aim to improve run production and fielding. The pitching staff faces uncertainty though with Colborn recovering from injuries and Champion emerging as a potential ace.
