Wally Joyner Hits 200th Career Homer, Other Mormon Athletes Have Off Week
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The Atlanta Braves' Wally Joyner hit his 199th
and 200th career home runs and hit .381 in taking advantage of an
injury that put him on first base full-time for the Braves. Joyner is
a 15-year veteran player who was traded to the Braves from the San
Diego Padres at the end of last year.
Other Mormon athletes had a bit of an off week. Giants second baseman
Jeff Kent, who pushed his team mates around the bases before the
all-star break for a league-leading 89 RBIs, was still struggling at
the plate, hitting just .190 and managing only one RBI for the week.
Cardinals pitcher Garret Stephenson didn't fare much better,
splitting the two games he pitched last week with an ERA of 5.25 for
the week. However, his one win last week came against the Arizona
Diamondbacks and their overpowering pitcher, Randy Johnson.
Meanwhile, Mormon News discovered a couple of new MLB pitchers to add
to the list. Omar Olivares, a starting pitcher for the Oakland As is
currently on the disabled list, and Relief Pitcher Mike Fetters of
the Los Angeles Dodgers had a somewhat off week, racking up a 6.00
ERA, but managing to get a save in one of the three games he pitched
in relief.
In golf, PGA tour members Keith Clearwater and Dan Forsman both
failed to make the cut for the John Deere Classic, leaving both out
of the money. Others on the list, including Richard Zobel, who Mormon
News learned about this week, were idle. Meanwhile, Senior PGA tour
member Bruce Summerhays managed to land in the money, barely, earning
just $2,700 for his performance in the Lightpath Long Island Classic.
