This may be a little out of our
"range" but with the coming of
spring a young man's thoughts
turn to baseball (well may-
be not the thoughts of all young
men but at least in a sports col-
umn they do).
President Johnson officially op-
ened America's favorite pastime
Monday and Tuesday morning
the Houston Colts were leading
the National League. The Texas
ball club better enjoy it while it
lasts because it may be the last
time this season they see first
division.
With the opening of a new
baseball season writers fans and
anyone who cares to try (our cate-
gory) enjoy re-hashing the past
season and predicting the results
of the new campaign.
Carbon Copy
When predicting this year's win-
ners wo always consult the pre-
dictions of the ballplayers them-
selves. In its recent edition. Sport
magazine ran its annual predic-
tion of the ballplayers. From the
men who play the game they see
a carbon copy of last season. Of
the 190 votes for the New York
Yankees only 30 were not for first
place and none were for lower
than third. In the tighter Na-
tional League the Los Angeles
Dodgers were not as heavy a fav-
orite. They were the choice of
130 of 194 players and no one
picked them to finish lower than
fourth. The Giants and the Twins
were the choices for second place
in each league.
We wilL go along with the
players and call it the "same old
story" the Yankees and the. Dod-
gers in the October classic. The
Yankees have won pennants un-
der three different managers in
the past few years. We have
come to the conclusion ttiat the
Yankees can win under any man-
ager. Last year they were with-
out the services of Mantle and
Maris and were hampered by
other injuries but still made a
farce out of the race. Yogi Berra

time because it'stooled of the
hardest metal made by man.'

the Kange
won't have any extra-tough de-
cisions to make except what
pitcher to start against Koufax
in the Series.
Koufax Is Key
Over in the National League
things won't be quite as easy for
the Dodgers. As Koufax goes
that's how the Dodgers will go.
If Koufax is injured as he was
in '62 the Giants or the Cardinals
will be ready and waiting to take
over the lead.
In the individual departments
the players are picking no sur-
prises just fold faithfuls." For
MVP's their choices Mantle and
Willie Mays. They say Hank
Aaron and Al Kaline will be the
leading hitters. It's Aaron and
Killebrew to be the home-run
leaders. Of course there is no
competition for the lefty who has
been mentioned several times
previously to be the top pitcher
in the NL. The Twins' Camilo
Pascual was predicted to be the
top pitcher in the AL.
We go along with most of the
players choices with a few ex-
ceptions. We think Tommy Davis
will be the MVP and leading hit-
ter in the NL. Davis is under-
rated but has established him-
self as a consistent player. We
won't leave the "Say Hey" kid
out. Willie will supply the power
for the Giants and lead the
league in homers. Kaline chased
Yastrzemski last year for the bat-
ting title. With a healthy year
he should win it this season.
Yes this season will be no dif-
ferent than the last only there
is no Stan Musial.
