Stargell Pleased With 1972 Pirates Contract
Willie Stargell says he is completely pleased with his 1972 Pirates contract after seeking a $100,000 deal. The star left fielder cited his 1971 best year with .295 average, 48 homers and 125 RBIs as justification while noting knee surgery and upcoming spring training. He also discussed drug-problem talks with President Nixon and will be honored by Dapper Dan Charities with Roberto Clemente and Danny Murtaugh.
