The differences between the brothers prove people of various physical attributes can succeed in baseball, Indians pitching coach Mike Caldwell said. Matt boasts the ideal pitcher's body.

Matt and Jason both started in professional baseball in 1997 and have succeeded in the minors. The brothers throw different pitches. Matt pitches a sometimes "unhittable" fastball and a slider, and is working on a split-finger fastball, Caldwell said.

"I cried like a baby, and so did everyone else." During a 17-year coaching career that began in 1960 with the Dallas Texans, Stram led the Chiefs to three AFL titles and a Super Bowl upset over the Minnesota Vikings in 1970. The Gary, native, who played and coached at Purdue, was presented by Hall of Famer Len Dawson, his friend of 50 years and the best quarterback Stram has said he ever coached. Dawson spoke lovingly of Stram, the coach's passion for football and his unwavering commitment to his players. "He had the ability to make each and every one of us feel special," Dawson said. Shortly before Dawson's speech, the steady rains that threatened to move the cer-j emony indoors stopped, and the sun briefly peeked through.

He can still hear the echoes. "The upperclassmen don't tell you they're going to shoot that cannon off during warm-ups," Metzelaars said. "They wait to see if you have a heart attack." Metzelaars survived his introduction as a freshman center with the Wabash College basketball team and he's back, 25 years later, in another capacity in another sport. Metzelaars is one of four interim coaches working in the Indianapolis Colts' training camp at Rose-Hulman. In 16 years in the NFL, he played in 235 games, more than any other tight end.

"This is my ninth year, but he's got a lot he can teach me," said tight end Marcus Pollard, the senior Colt "He's helped me a lot on steps, footwork, hat placement (positioning of the head while making or getting off a block). A lot of times he tells me the same thing as the coaches, but it's a little bit easier to take it from a guy who's been in the trenches, who's played the position for 16 years." That is precisely the impact Colts coach Tony Dungy anticipated when he signed on Metzelaars, 43, Cedric Hardman, 54, Ray Roberts, 34, and Reggie Brooks, 32. "Having all these guys, guys that 5.

His victory Sunday in the rain-shortened Mario Andretti Grand Prix also moved him into first place in the Championship Auto Racing Teams standings.

Junqueira, who started on the pole, has a three-point lead over Paul Tracy. Tracy slid off the track on the 11th lap and did not return. "It was a very good week for me," Junqueira said. Rookie Sebastien Bourdais, Junqueira's NewmanHaas teammate, finished second. Alex Tagliani, who started 13th, was third.

The race was frustrating for drivers and fans. It started under a yellow flag and was delayed twice because of rain, the second time for about 2Vi hours. In the end, 34 laps were completed instead of the planned 60. Only 19 were run under the green flag, with the first crash coming midway through the first lap.
