Kelly Gruber

John Olerud

Highlights:  Possibly the best pitching match-up ever witnessed on a Hot Stove League trip in which grizzled veteran Jack Morris schooled the young Rocket by tossing a four-hit shutout.  Clemens pitched 7-1/3 innings, giving up only seven hits while walking three and striking out seven, but three of his seven hits were home runs, to Joe Carter in the third, a two run shot; to Pat Borders in the sixth; and to Dave Winfield in the bottom of the eighth, all four runs scoring on the Yard balls.

Don Mattingly

Danny Tartabull

Albert Belle

Brook Jacoby

Highlights:  The Hot Stove Leaguers saw Charles Nagy throw a five-hit shutout against the visiting Yankees, walking none and striking out five, in a game with very little offense that lasted exactly two hours.  The pregame highlight was having a chance to schmooze with Itchie’s high school idol, Tim Burke, and the post-game talking point was Itchie being dusted (you can have him!) by an unimpressed young Cleveland female.

Highlights:  The hometown Tigers jumped out to an early lead with four runs in the bottom of the first, two off the bat of Cecil Fielder who went way deep onto the roof in left field off of Bob Milacki, and was followed up with a Yard ball by Rob Deer.  Sam Horn hit two monstrous shots clean out of the stadium, but both way foul to the right field side.  After the Tigers scored three more runs in the third to take a 7-0 lead, Orioles veteran Mike Flanagan came in to eat up a few innings, and got blasted for eight earned runs in one inning of work, after his manager refused to take him out despite his baleful looks to the dugout after Flanny realized he had no gas in the tank.
