Pro Sports winners-losers This was a terrific season for baseball fans in Sheridan. With the Minnesota Twins in the World Series many people came out of the closet to root them on. The Twins beat the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games. The Twins lost every game in St. Louis but won every home game in the victory. The Metro ( Homer”) Dome provided a tremendous advantage for the Twins and clearly bothered the St. Louis hitters with the tremendous noise inside the dome. The Minnesota fans also started a new craze called the Homer Hanky . The fans would wave the white towels and scream as the Twins consistantly hit shots over the center field wall. Superbowl XXII between Denver Broncos and the Washington Redskins was shaping up to be one of the best in recent history. Like the superbowls of the past, however, it was a rout. The first play from scrimage was a 56-yard TD pass from Bronco quarterback John El-way to Ricky Nattiel. On their next possession the Broncos kicked a field goal to extend their lead to 10 points. When Redskin quarterback, Doug Williams went down with an injury the day looked pretty bad for Washington fans. During the second quarter, however, Williams returned to lead the Skins to 35 unanswered points. The rout was on. During the second half, the Redskins never looked back, winning the game 42-10. Washington broke six Superbowl records in the game, including most total yards. Baseballs opening day, April 4th, wasn't a day for celebration for some teams. The Baltimore Orioles lost their first game and then continued to lose the next 20 games. The O for April Orioles set a new American League record for consecutive losses and a Major League record for most losses at the start of a season. Baseball had it's first suspension of the year when Pete Rose, the Cincinati Reds Manager, was suspended for thirty days after shoving an umpire. Rose ran out on the field to argue a call and the umpire accidentally poked him in the eye while pointing at him. Rose became furious and shoved the umpire twice. Rose was instantly ejected and suspended the following day. Current Events 21 !! ! 3 !!

NCAA Sports year of upsets College sports were very exciting this year for fans in Wyoming. To start with the University of Wyoming Cowboys won the WAC and earned the right to travel to San Diego for the Holiday Bowl on December 30 against Iowa. Unfortunately the Pokes couldn't put it all together and were defeated 21-20. The University of Miami, on the other hand, couldn't have been happier with the res-tult of the Orange Bowl this year. The Hurricanes who were in the championship game for the second straight year, dominated Oklahoma by a score of 24-17. The team was lead by sophomore quarterback Steve Walsh who was asked to fill the shoes of last years quarterback and Heisman Trophy Winner, Vinny Testa verde. This year's Heisman Trophy voting turned into a rout with Notre Dame receiver and kick returner, Tim Brown coming out on top. He was the nations leading punt returner this year as well as serving as the top wide receiver and wingback. Syracuse quarterback, Don McPhereson came in second in the bal-lotting. The Syracuse Orangeman were picked to win the NCAA basketball title this year after losing by a point to Indiana on a last second shot in last year's championship game. This came to be known as a year of upset's, however. In the end the nations top college player, Danny Manning, showed why as he single-handedly beat the heavily favored Oklahoma Sooners to give Kansas the championship. Closer to home, the Wyoming Cowboys who were picked to be number four in preseason had a rough start. In the end, they finished second in the WAC and earned a berth in the NCAA tourney. The Cowboys got an unlucky draw and had to play Loyola-Marymount, the nations highest scoring team. The Pokes played them close but lost by four. This year was another Olympic year for sports fans. People from around the world came to see the winter games in Calgary, Canada. The U.S. had a poor showing however and took home only three gold medals. Brian Boitano, however, won one of these in the mens figure skating competition. 20 Current Events
