European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - March 24, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Saturday March 24, 1990 the stars and stripes a Page 23commentaryfmattingly still the Man for Yankees Tat f an hour before the Yankees workout at fort Lauderdale Don Mattingly was putting on his Miles when Deion Sanders an outfielder when he s not returning punts for the Atlanta Falcons apr a we wearing spikes or running shoes a Sanders Dave Anderson Mattingly said. A a in a pretty Sanders said. A you a the asked. 5 �?o1 think spikes a  a i do what you do  a. Awaiting his seventh season Don Mattingly is Quot the Many who makes the Yankees stay the Yankees of the 40 players on the roster Mattingly and the Prince of their bullpen Dave Righetti Are the Only lifetime Yankees the Only established Yankees who were nurtured in the Yankee farm system. Once upon a time almost every established Yankee was a lifetime Yankee born and bred in pinstripes. But Over nearly two decades George Stein Brenner a revolving door has changed All that. As the Yankees assembled for Spring training they had a new general manager Harding a a Peter Peterson and a Semi new dugout manager Bucky Dent who took command late last season. They also had a new familiar face Dave Winfield who missed last season because of spinal surgery. A when i drove up Here this time i got a different feeling everybody seemed to be pulling for me a Winfield said on his arrival at fort Lauderdale stadium before joining his teammates Halfway through wednesdays workout. A in other years it was always a hey get ready you bum get a  a in other years some people were pulling at Winfield notably the principal owner. Now the simmering dispute Between Steinbrenner and Winfield Over the outfielders youth foundation has been settled but Steinbrenner reportedly paid $40,000 to a self described Gambler Howard Spira for information relevant to the principal owners cause. Steinbrenner has reportedly filed an extortion complaint with the Federal Bureau of investigation Over spirals alleged demand for another $110,000. Asked about the Steinbrenner Spira situation Winfield said a Howard Spira never worked for David Winfield or the Winfield foundation in any capacity. You should know that. That a just a fact. A and sometime ill Tell you a Story about Howard Spira and his connection with the people Down in Houston pulling another fraud Down there a an allusion to the recent common Law marriage verdict that Winfield is appealing. Between his spinal surgery and his off the Field disputes its no wonder Winfield 38, has More Gray hair. And with Jesse Barfield now the right fielder Winfield will return to left Field which he played with distinction in 1981, his first Yankee season in a 10-year, $20 million contract. If Winfield can regain the prowess that has accumulated 2,421 hits 357 homers and 1,438 runs batted in the Yankees might improve on last years 7487 record their worst since 1967. Don Mattingly a i like what we did in the off season. We be got some Good new arms a Mattingly said. A Tim Leary throws Good. Pascual Perez throws Good. I think Well be a Good team but i always say that a two years ago Mattingly a a guaranteed the Yankees would win the american league East but they skidded to fifth and finished fifth again last year. And despite Perez a live Arm his live past might create problems. He has gone through drug and Al Chochol rehabilitation. Since the lockout ended the Yankees have been unable to locate him by phone in the dominican Republic. Quot i was looking at Billy Connors pitching Chart a said Tony Kubek the former Yankee shortstop who is one of their Madison Square Garden Cable net work announcers. A Billy wrote Down All his pitchers names in Ink except for Perez whose name is in  the one Yankee name that should be chiselled in Granite is Mattingly one of Only six Yankees Ever to hit .300 or better six straight seasons. The others were babe Ruth Lou Gehrig Joe Dimaggio Bill Dickey and Earle Combs each a Hall of Famer. And the Yankee first baseman has done it despite a habitual slow Start. A with Only three weeks i done to know what la happen Quot Mattingly said at his locker. A i usually try to Glide through Spring training but now in a going to try Quot to Bear Down right away hit the Ball hard right away. A maybe that la help. In be been hitting in my garage in Terre haute like i always do. But that a never helped  just then Mattingly was told that the Yankees were to Wear their running shoes not their spikes. A they Deion a he called to Sanders across the clubhouse a they say we go out and run first then come in and Pul our spikes on. I should be listened to  no. Once the Man always the Man. The new York times .9. A Ike 24 ans eco he first 0-50 Man by Tom Verducci new Day Phoenix a Jose Canseco said Educ Day he left his infamous red jag Iraq Home in Miami. This time he said he rented a car for Spring training. What sort of car a a Jaguar. Red a he said laughing. Canseco who missed half of last season with a broken left hand is ready to go full throttle again. Oakland a massive right fielder made it obvious he intends to put up big numbers on the Field if not on his speedometer. Canseco the Only player to hit at least 40 Home runs and Deal at least 40 bases in the same season promised he will someday reach 50-50 a maybe this year a and indicated he might someday hit 60 Home runs.
