Neither did Billy Williams. Or Ferguson Jenkins. All Hall of Famers.

All pennant-race also-rans. Banks thinks Cubs fans shouldn't be in any hurry. "You've got to be patient," he said. "It takes time. These things don't happen overnight.

The best is yet to come." But Ernie, it's 92 years. "We were good enough to win maybe two or three times," Santo said. "But we never did. If I had the answer why, I'd be a rich man." 1908! Eleven amendments were added to the Constitution after that and America elected 16 presidents after that with No. 17 on deck.

1908! The NBA, NHL and NFL were all formed after that and Chicago teams won championships in each of those leagues. None of the success rubbed off on the Cubs, though. Again this season, the cute little Cubbies, poster boys for hard times, are buried near the bottom of the National League's Central Division, a place to which they've become accustomed. No World Series since 1986? Try 1945, which is the last time the Cubs got there. No world championship since 1918? Try 1908, the last time the Cubs won it.

1908! They invented radio after that. Television, too. 1908! Harry Caray was born after that. And died, too. 1908! Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Alaska and Hawaii were added to the union after that Prohibition came and went.

Its repeal might have had something to do with the Wrigley riot near the Dodgers bullpen last month. Last year, the Cubs lost 95 games, two years after they lost 94. They did make the playoffs in 1998, getting swept by the Atlanta Braves, but they've been over .500 only five times since 1972. Ron Santo has been around for much of the misery, first as a Gold Glove third baseman with the Cubs from 1960-73 and now as the team's radio analyst. "When you think about it, when you go back to 1908, 91, 92 years, it's hard to believe the Cubs haven't won a World Series," he said.

"It's hard for me to understand when so many good players have come out The Associated Press Every so often, Boston Red Sox fans start wailing about the suffering of the Fenway faithful And despite the current good times, the Sox have certainly endured plenty of grief, payback some people insist, for cavalierly dumping Babe Ruth so long ago. No World Series since 1986. No world championship since 1918. A sad story, indeed. It is, however, a light load to carry compared with the woes on the north side of Chicago, where the Cubs annually push the patience of their fans to the very edge of endurance.

MONDAY Pittsburgh at Montreal, 7:05 Atlanta at Philadelphia, 7:35 The Associated Press Terry Steinbach didn't expect to do this again. The 1988 All-Star Game MVP planned to spend a lot of time with his family, watch his kids grow, and maybe work with the Minnesota Twins' younger players after retiring at the end of last seasoa pMT I VxSllil- II ins? He was done with that until his country came calling. Steinbach is Steinbach one of a handful of recently retired major leaguers recruited as prospects for the U.S.

Olympic baseball team in Sydney in September. Organizers would like some experienced players to go along with the minor leaguers who will make up the bulk of the roster for the first Olympic tournament played with professionals. Host Australia will have All-Star catcher Dave Nilsson, who's playing in Japan and will be available for the Olympics. The United TIGERS: Win Florida 8, Pittsburgh 3 N.Y.

The six-game losing streak matches the Indians' longest of the season. "I thought we were really up and into the game. Things just didn't go our way again," Indians Manager Charlie Manuel said. "That's what happens sometimes when you lose and you're not playing good; things aren't going your way.

"It seems like everything you do or try doesn't work. It's kind of where we are right now." The Indians started the day 6 1-2 games behind first-place Chicago in the AL Central. "We're trying to feel that feeling again," Cleveland's Sandy Alomar said. "In six days we haven't won a game. Yeah we have a lot of injuries, but we were winning with those injuries, too.

"We've still got to win some games to stay in the race. Otherwise, by the time everyone gets healthy, we'll probably be so far behind it'll be impossible to come back." Doug Brocail (3-3) worked one perfect inning after C.J. Nitkowski pitched 4 2-3 innings of perfect relief with five strikeouts. "Our bullpen did a great job getting us back to the dugout and keeping the energy goi Higgmson said. States would love to have the 38-year-old Steinbach.

"I can imagine a veteran catcher handling the pitching staff," said Bob Watson, co-chairman of the U.S. Olympic baseball steering committee. "Plus, I know him very well." Watson has talked to Steinbach and a few other retired players Chili Davis, Wade Bog-gs, Pat Kelly, Jimmy Key, Tim Raines, Tom Can-diotti, Orestes Destrade to see if they're interested in his rather unusual proposition. "They've got to play somewhere. I don't care where," Watson said.

"They're going to play semipro, some independent leagues. We want to see quality at-bats, quality innings, to make an intelligent decision." That's why Steinbach is strapping on the shin-guards a couple of times a week. "You've taken a year off and to step up to that caliber, I don't know," Steinbach said. "I'm still open about it, but it's a major concern. I don't want to take a trip there and embarrass myself and my country by not being up to standards." at Network Associates Coliseum in Oakland expires after next seasoa "We still have a significant amount of work to be done," said Gary Hansen, a member of the Santa Clara Stadium Association.

"If the commissioner approves this and the A's move ahead, it gives us the green light to proceed with phase two. Phase one has been very successful" Team spokesman Jim Young refused to comment on specifics, but he did say Selig "has information in front of him." "Given the expiration of our lease, it only makes sense to explore all of our options to stay in the Bay Area," Young said. Oakland A's proposing move to Santa Clara Continued from 1C Ausmus said. "He hasn't hit like he usually does and he gets booed for it. It was nice for him to put on a positive exclamation point in front of the home fans." Bobby Higginson drew a one-out walk in the ninth off Steve Karsay (0-4).

Gonzalez, who earlier hit an RBI single, drove a 1-1 pitch into the left-field seats for his 12th home run of the season and second of the series. "To be able to walk off with a win like that and have the big guy do it, that was a big win for us," Detroit's Damion Easley said. "We all know it hasn't been easy on him, but we know he's giving it everything he's got." Higginson and Wendell Magee also hit two-run homers for the Tigers, who ral-1 i from 4-0 and 6-3 deficits. felt like we were going to Gonzalez win tne ballgame and I felt like Gonzalez was going to win it for us," Tigers Manager Phil Garner said. Russell Branyan hit his first career grand slam to give the Indians a 4-0 lead in the fourth, and Roberto Alomar's two-run homer made it 6-3 in The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif.

The Oakland Athletics have presented major league baseball with a proposal to move the team to Silicon Valley, a California newspaper reported. According to the Contra Costa Times, the team owners want tentative approval from commissioner Bud Selig before working further with a group that wants to build a privately financed stadium near Great America amusement park in Santa Clara. This is believed to be the first time the A's have presented the league with a plan to leave their home of 33 years.
