I think, 1 threw harder than I ever had before and Igot all six guys before they pinch hit for me. More than likely, Hands' last appearance will come this year.

"We play 200 games a year and travel 80,000 miles," he told the startled youngsters. He said he was going to retire last winter but the Rangers talked him out of it because they felt he could help win a pennant. So for one more year, he's on the road. "I've got three or four offers for the future," he said. "One is here in the East for Mr.

Corbett, the president of Robintech. Inc. He's chairman of the board for the Rangers. Baseball has been Bill Hands' life for more than 20 years. Now he wants to spend more time with Sandy, his wife, and Heather, 13, Billy, 12, and Heide, 7.

"I don't know what I'm going to do when I retire," he admitted. "I always wanted to be a major leaguer." By STEVE MANAS PARSIPPANY The Texas Rangers, in town to face the Yankees at Shea Stadium, conclude their three-game series tonight. That means Bill Hands, as he had done so often during the past 17 years, must once again leave his family and go on the road. The Rangers' 35-year-old righthander, born in Rutherford and a resident of Parsippany since 1965, paid a visit to the Jack Mott-Fred Leeney Baseball Camp at Smith Field yesterday and spoke to more than 130 boys, aged 7-15, and 22 instructors, former high school players, college players and coaches, about what else? baseball. His audience eagerly absorbed Hands' discussion about pitching, his own successful career, and life in the big leagues.

Manager Billy Martin's pitching rotation precluded Hands from doing any actual throwing. He had pitched a 6-hitter Monday but yielded three home runs as the Yankees evened his record at 5-5 after a 5-2 defeat. curve, it's probably because he was looking for a fastball." Hands has made plenty of hitters look bad during his careeer which began with a brief stint with the Giants in 1965. He's also toiled for the Cubs (1966-72), Twins ('73-part of 74) and Rangers. He's won 110 games and lost 108.

His ERA is a highly respectable 3.31. He's struck out more than 1,100 batters while walking less than 500 in more than 1,600 innings. In 1969, when Chicago folded down the stretch and the Mets won the pennant and World Series, Hands was 20-14 with a 2.49 ERA. Someone asked if he remembered his first major league appearance and after scanning his bio in the Rangers' press guide, he did. "It was in relief in Milwaukee," he recalled.

"The Giants were down maybe 10-3 and I had pitched 20 minutes of batting practice before the game. Herman Franks looked down the bench and asked if I could go a coup "White hit a slider, Mason a fastball and Nettles, a change-up." Hands replied to a youngster's inquiry about the three homers. "How do you pitch to Bobby Bonds?" another wanted to know. "You've got to curve him to death," he answered. Most of the youngsters, who get a thorough instructional program covering all, facets of the sport during the one-week camp, stuck to Hands' specialty, pitching.

The 10-year veteran explained how to throw the curve, fastball and slider and also how to pick runners off base. "There are lots of guys who are two-pitch pitchers," he said. "The important things are to have good control and a good fastball. "You've got to have the God-given talent. You've got to have the velocity for your fastball.

Except for pitchers like Wilbur Wood who have trick pitches like knucklers and forkballs, your fastball sets up the other pitches.
