Darrell Porter, Kansas City Royals catcher and 1969 all star, is in an alcohol rehabilitation program and scheduled for release April 12. His father Ray Porter, speaking from Oklahoma City, says the public disclosure aims to foster understanding and ease his son's return after a troubled season. Porter has battled drinking during an 11-year major league career, though last year he hit .291 with 20 homers and joined a select AL club for 100 plus walks RBIs and runs. The Royals open the season home against the Detroit Tigers the day after his release date.
