Sports make media headlines From the forming of a new football league to rumors of football scandals, from Wayne Gretzky ' s popularity to the World Cup ' s hatred by America, it has been anything but dull in professional sports in 1982-83. March 1982 — After a strike filled year, baseball got down to business with spring training. The defending world champion Los Angeles Dodgers were without Fernan- do Valenzuela, a holdout, but he soon came and everything was back to normal again. April — As baseball ' s regular season staited, on came the NHL playoffs, and in stead of the Dodgers Southern California turned to the Kings as they met Edmonton and Wayne Gretzky. To the shock of everyone, the Kings halted the Oilers mighty scoring machine in five games. However, at the end it was the New York Islanders skating off with the Stanley Cup. ,,A 1 ,1 4- May — It was now time for the Los Angeles Lakers to shine, going undefeated in the NBA playoffs until losing 2 of 6 in the finals to win another world championship. August — After a poor start, the Dodgers finally got on track, however, still behind streaking Atlanta by 10 ' 2. Entering Atlanta in a must sweep situa- tion, they fell behind 10-5 in the sixth. Something snapped. The Dodgers blew up, sweeping Atlanta both there and at home to take over first place in 12 days. September — After a summer filled with drug confessions, unions, a Raider lawsuit, and a new league ((JSFL), the NFL went only two games into its season before being stopped by a strike. Ed Garvey was instantly turned into Sunday ' s villain. October — As basketball, hockey, and indoor soccer began, preparations began for the summer Olympiad in Los Angeles in 1984. With smog as a major factor, officials sweated over every possible solution. In St. Louis, Bruce Sutter locked up the Cardinals ' victory in the World Series. December — This was the biggest month yet, as the NFL returned, Bear Bryant retired, and baseball trading began. January 1983 — With the NFL ' s ridiculous playoff setup and the death of Alabama ' s Bear Bryant, January ' s only bright spot was Washington Redskins ' FB John Riggins, powering his way to a Super Bowl crown. February — Rams hire John Robin- son, the headlines blared, Hershel Walker said yes, no, and yes again to the CJSFL ' s New Jersey Generals 16 million dollar con- tract and after 1 1 long years, the Kings defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4. Sporting events on many occasions dominated the news and many of the headlines were the subject of discussion by San G athletes. James Curran, class of 86 138 sports
