Mitchell just missed his first time at bat, lining a homer into the yellow seats 57 feet above the Astroturf in left field. "I've never seen a yellow and a red in two at-bats," Reds manager Tony Perez said. Not many Cincinnati fans have seen a homer of either variety. Perez hit the first, in August 1970, and did it again in 1975.

Foster has the most, with six. There aren't any stats on yellow-seat homers, but even longtime beat writers couldn't remember seeing any. With only a 15-foot opening, a ball has to be hit pretty much on a line the way Mitchell's first homer was. Away I Probable I Tim I 1993 Team I 1992 Vs. Opp.

Asked if he was happy to be going on the road after the lackluster showing at home, Rockies manager Don Baylor said, "When you lose seveA-of-eight, you can't be happy going anywhere.

Offerman, who is angry with reporters, said the other day that he is just going to do his job and "zipper your mouths." League Leaders A year ago Jose Fernandez went from being the St. Louis Cardinals' final cut to backup Class AA catcher in little more than a month.

The former Cardinal Newman star's rapid decline left him frustrated, but it was nothing a good stint in the Arizona Fall League wouldn't fix. Or so he thought. Fernandez had 17 RBI in just 65 at-bats for Tucson and led the league by throwing out approximately 50 percent of base-steal-ers. "They told me I had a chance to be the everyday catcher in Triple-A," Fernandez said of the Cardinals. That was before spring training.

A week before camp broke they told him he was going to be the backup at Class AA. He left camp. "Obviously, they didn't have plans for me," Fernandez said. "They lied to me." The same day he left camp the Phillies called the Cardinals seeking a Class AA starting catcher. A is soup and peanut but-ter-and-jel-ly sandwiches.

MARLINS UPDATE: Ge- ronimo Berroa must be wondering what it will take to get back to the major leagues. The journeyman (three stints in six years) outfielder is hitting .388 with 19 RBI at Class AAA Edmonton. His average is third-best in the league.

Marlins executives admit Berroa would have been called up by now if he were on the 40-man roster. But such a move won't happen unless absolutely necessary, because the Marlins don't -want to risk losing a prospect by dropping one off the 40-man roster and exposing him to waivers.

The best options at Class AAA are Gil Heredia (4-0, 2.06 ERA) and Tavo Alvarez (2-3, 4.09). Alvarez is by far the best prospect. But he hasn't been particularly impressive this year with the exception of a seven-inning outing against Montreal in an exhibition Monday night, striking out seven and holding Dclino DeShields, Marquis Grissom, Moises Alou and Larry Walker to a combined l-for-8.

If the Expos want to gamble and jump some of the Class AA talent to the majors, Reid Cornelius (2.14 ERA), Gabe nite (2.03) and Miguel Batista (2.69) are doing well.
