They were In a party mood, celebrating pennant fever, October In August at Yankee Stadium. And then they turned ugly. With Toronto opening a four-game series against the Yankees and the teams separated by a single game In the American League East standings, a crowd of 43.304, sixth largest of the season for the Yankees, showed up for Monday night's game.

Ordinarily, that would be a positive In the South Bronx attendance watch, with owner George Steln-brenner complaining about people unwilling to come to games there and talking about moving his franchise elsewhere. But the positive quickly turned negative. During batting practice, the crowd booed the Blue Jays, chanting. "U-S-Al U-S-AI U-S-A!" at a team that has a roster full of Americans, Dominicans and Puerto Rlcans, but no Canadians. And things went downhill from there.

When Metropolitan Opera star Robert Merrill stepped to the microphone to sing the Canadian national anthem, a tradition wherever the Blue Jays play, the fans nearly drowned him out with their boos. This had become more than a pennant race. This had become an exercise in nationalism and for some of the Americans playing for Toronto an embarrassment. "That was total disrespect," said right fielder Joe Carter. "That's Just not right."

"I'm happy the guys who got moved had no problems with it. "It's not etched In stone," he said. "We could change It." Tony Fernandez had been batting behind Olerud.

White, who tends to strike out a lot, may not have provided as much protection for Olerud as Molitor. Fernandez will hit seventh and be followed by Ed Sprague and Pat Borders. There had been so much speculation about Gaston's batting order that Blue Jays coach Bob Bailor posted a phony lineup card In the locker room two hours early, listing White at cleanup and Olerud hitting ninth. Henderson, 34, had become unhappy with his contract situation with the Athletics and did not enjoy playing on a last-place team. He agreed to waive the no-trade clause In his contract he's In the last season of a four-year, $12 million deal as long as Toronto allowed him to become a free agent after the season.

"He's the best leadoff hitter In the game," White said. "When we heard about It, it as like, 'Wow, we went out and got Henderson spent Sunday and Monday in the Bay area, taking care of family matters, and missed Toronto's 4-0 victory Monday night over the Yankees. Gaston and Blue Jays management said the time it took him to Join Toronto was not a problem at all. "I needed a couple of days at home, getting my stuff together," he said. Henderson Is batting .327 with 17 home runs and 47 RBI.

He has stolen 1,073 bases and led off 62 games with home runs, both major-league records. "The players that have played with me and against riie know I go out to play nine innings," he said.
