To Start and Stratm Why anti drugs Steinbrenner got Scurry by Milton Richman up senior editor sports new York from the time Yan Kee stadium was built no taxi Driver has Ever delivered a customer to the Ballpark and tried to make him believe it was the Little House on the Prairie. The difference has always been obvious and is again now More than Ever. From All the hollering and screaming going on upstairs and downstairs from the cries being heard since the Blue jays beat up on the Yankees last weekend and pulled away in the Al East it sounds More like a burning building inside Yankee stadium. George Steinbrenner s got his Back up about everything. His players his front office the umpires you name it. Smack dab in the Middle of All this atmosphere of peace and Light Steinbrenner has introduced still another Clement of controversy and fanned a few More flames by getting left handed reliever Rod Scurry from the pirates. What so Many Are unable to understand about this s50.000 Purchase a the fact Scurry has a known background of drug use and Steinbrenner never has made any secret of How strongly he feels about Ball players about anyone in fact being involved with drugs or controlled sub stances of any kind. He s probably baseball s most outspoken critic of players who use drugs. He is Well aware Scurry has undergone treat ment for a drug problem at Pittsburgh s new Yankee Rod Scurry. Getting another Chance Gateway rehabilitation Center from april 7 to May 13 last year. He also knows that Scurry 29, was in a sense the springboard for the ongoing Pittsburgh drug trial because he was one of the very first ballplayers in that area Federal investigators questioned. In the face of All this Why then has he put Scurry in a Yankee uniform i asked Steinbrenner Why he did it. I be got maybe less sympathy for players involved with drugs than he has. But i have to admit after listening to his reasons the make Good sense. Above All icy Are positive a castors not negative ones. Thai s Why i Hope Stein Brenner succeeds in what he s trying to do. If he does i think baseball will be taking a giant step in eliminating drug users. Look. 1 Don t need any More prob lems said the Yankee owner. That in t Why we got Scurry last Friday. I Don t know of anyone in baseball who s stronger than me against drugs. I was absolutely Adamant against the voluntary drug program we have in baseball now because i Don t believe it la solve our problem. The Only reason i be agreed to go along with it is because of my Confidence in the commissioner. Peter Ueberroth. Here s the method for the madness in my getting Scurry Steinbrenner continued. He agreed to be tested by the pirates As often As three times a week Al ways tested negatively with them and has agreed to be tested with us. This makes him the second player with us who s saying. Til let you lest me anytime you want Dale Berra was the first. The More limes i can get a player to agree to Hal the tougher it will be for the players Union to keep insisting that we have no  s the Only reason i m doing it. "1 think the Union s fixed position on testing is perfectly idiotic. Why does t it take a look at the armed forces where mandatory testing has reduced drug use by a phenomenal figure by taking inc stubborn stance it is the players Union looks like Alice in wonderland. The players association looks upon mandatory drug testing As an infringe ment of rights. I be had some players Lell me they re against mandatory testing and others who told me they would t mind. Scurry is among the latter group now. He has agreed to submit to testing As much As Ihrck limes a week Stcin bran Ner said. The first Lime he fails the Tysl. He s gone. I Hope the Young Man makes it. I m Gonna try to help him All i can. We re getting him the Busl drug coun Selor in new York to work with him. And former Yankee Bobby Murcur has agreed to meet with him every Day and work with him  Scurry a pirate the past six seasons looked Good in his first Outing with the Yankees sunday against the Blue jays. He struck out four in two scoreless innings while giving up one hit and one walk. Scurry is still on an aftercare program and has agreed to follow it. Joe Brown the pirates general manager says Scurry is clean and. Whenever Joe Brown tells you anything you can go to the Bank with it.
