LINEBACKERS. Kevin McLain, Colo rado State, 6 ft. 2 in., 238 lbs.; Larry Gordon, Arizona State, 6 ft. 4 in., 222 lbs.; and Greg Buttle, Penn State, 6 ft. 2% in., 232 lbs.

Of course, the baseball writers aren't about to give up their right to be supreme judges...
...miles to work from his home in the Detroit suburb of Washington. Last year, when for the first time in his career he won his 20th game, Lolich sprung for six bottles of champagne for his teammates. This season, the honors that have long eluded him are in view. McLain is in the minors, and Blue, after a lengthy holdout, has yet to win a game. Meanwhile, Lolich is bewildering American League batsmen with a repertory of pitches that now includes a "cut fastball," a slider and a hard sinker.
