Sanguillen Seeks Playing Time With Pirates and A's
Manny Sanguillen says he would rather play than sit the bench and has learned to adapt with Pittsburgh. He notes he previously led Oakland in games, at bats, and hits while filling multiple roles and would still like to return to the A’s in the future. He remains a key NL figure from the 1971 Pirates World Series team and highlights camaraderie with Latin teammates. In New Jersey, Giants sign Terry Jackson and Thomas Fencik as defensive backs. Kenneth L. Smith Jr. cards his first hole in one at Sunset CC No. 5 with witnesses Mark and Sarah Davis.

Stumbling Block in Moving Buffalo Braves to San Diego
SAN DIEGO AP The Buffalo Braves NBA move hit a major snag as six contract changes upset the transfer plan. Peter Graham said management altered the spirit of the pact, placing blame on Braves owner John Y Brown and Boston’s Irv Levin. The deal aims to move Buffalo to San Diego and Braves to Boston, with NBA Board of Governors scheduled to discuss next Friday in Chicago. Graham warned changes could derail the agreement and criticized the financiers’ quarrels over small sums. He voiced frustration but remained hopeful talks would continue.
