Halos Can’t Give Them Away

Cepeda
From Page 1
Cepeda, 33, actually has
problems with both knees. He
seriously injured the right one
in 1965 while a member of the
San Francisco Giants, but he
visited doctors and worked
hard in order to play again.
“I’ve been playing 14 years
on a bad knee so this is nothing
new,” he said.
But now the problem is with
his left knee. He still isn’t sure
what caused that injury.
“We had played a game
here,” he said, “and I was at
home sitting in a chair. When I
got up, the knee popped and it
has bothered me since.”
He played almost daily until
mid-June but began sitting out
some games. Finally, he made
a request to visit his personal
physician in Puerto Rico to see
if something could be done.
He returned from Puerto
Rico and played in a couple of
games. He still could not per-
form without pain.
Cepeda said his last thought
is quitting. “I won’t give up,”
he said. “They’d have to cut
off my knee first. I’ve played
with pain before.”
Cepeda is batting .246 with
11 home runs and 37 RBI.
ANAHEIM (AP) — An
engraved “autographed” base-
ball bat is a prized possession
of many youngsters. Baseball
teams print them up and
proudly hand them out every
season, proclaiming the name
of an idolized star.
A problem has arisen, how-
ever, in the case of Alex John-
son, the Angel with the tar-
nished halo.
His employers, the Califor-
nia Angels, have 5,000 bats in
the recesses of Anaheim Stadi-
um that bear the legend, “Alex
Johnson, 1970 American
League Batting Champion.”
Johnson has been suspend-
ed for lack of hustle.
The Angel brass has indi-
cated Johnson may never play
for them again. If he had been
traded, the club might sell the
bats to his new team. With
Johnson suspended, the bats
remain in limbo.
The problem arose a year
ago when the Angels held a
Bat Day and ran out of bats.
This year, the Angels ordered
an oversupply, figuring they’d
get used somehow. About
25,000 were given out; 5,000
remain.
“Two or three years ago we
had leftover bats with all kinds
of names on them — Bobby
Knopp, Tom Satriano, Bubba
Morton, Jay Johnstone,” re-
calls Angel publicist George
Lederer, citing names of ex-
Angels who had been traded.
“Two years ago we even
had some Hal Lanier bats
sneak in somehow.” Lanier, of
the San Francisco Giants, has
never played for the Angels.
The Johnson bats represent
about $5,000 so throwing them
away would be foolish. And in
Alex’s present state of disfa-
vor, the club has no intention
of giving them to fans.
The Angels can only hope
Alex is either traded in the
offseason or comes back next
season with a new attitude.
