The writer admits fans correctly supported deserving players in the MLB All-Star balloting at Anaheim Stadium. The annual ballot stuffing that usually trips up columns failed to mislead, yielding an unexpected, favorable outcome for star selections.
Chip Marshall reviews the 1989 All Star selections highlighting two retirements and several key replacements. He notes Mike Schmidt’s retirement call and Jose Canseco’s injury while praising many other stars including Will Clark Tony Gwynn and Kirby Puckett and bets the NL would win by two runs.
Doug Collins lost his job with the Chicago Bulls following a falling out with owner Jerry Reinsdorf and GM Jerry Krause over management philosophy and player choices. Phil Jackson is viewed as the leading replacement candidate. Collins, 36 when hired in 1986, posted a 137-109 regular-season record and led the Bulls to playoff wins before his exit.
Rain interrupted the Wimbledon men's semifinals with Stefan Edberg leading John McEnroe 7 5 7 6 2 3 when play was suspended after an hour. Ivan Lendl, in his fourth straight semifinal, faces Boris Becker while Edberg prepares to meet McEnroe as the Center Court field narrows. Becker, 21, seeks his third Wimbledon title after wins in 1985 and 1986. McEnroe arrives as a crowd favorite, aiming to repeat past success against Edberg following a Japan win this spring.
Chris Evert, 34, loses to Steffi Graf 6-2 6-1 in Wimbledon semifinal, signaling possible retirement from the title pursuit. She credits age and Graf’s play, says she is 90 percent sure she will not compete for the title next year, and thanks fans at Centre Court.
Oakland manager Tony LaRussa and AL officials agreed Jose Canseco will not play in the All Star Game in Anaheim. Canseco, voted a starter by fans, is in Huntsville, Alabama, to work back into shape after wrist problems. LaRussa said Canseco understands the decision and may stay to workout locally rather than travel for the event.
Nolan Ryan and Rick Reuschel head NL reserves for next week's All Star Game. Lasorda and White choose Reuschel, Burke, Davis, FranCo, Hershiser, Howell, Scott, Smoltz, Williams, and Hayes among NL starters and reserves plus Larkin, Dawson, Scioscia, and other stars.
