the Journal Times, Saturday, Feb. 16, 1991 Racine, Wis. 33 rrr Dsi, Pirates: rS dl(DSDIfi)S I 1.,, Associated Press Barry Bonds and the Pittsburgh Pirates went at each other Friday in the team's third big arbitration hearing, while the arbitrator deciding Bobby Bonilla's case announced that a ruling wouldn't be made until Monday. National League Cy Young Award winner Doug Drabek won an arbitration-record million from the Pirates Thursday, and Bonilla is attempting to top that at $3,475,000. Pittsburgh is offering Bonilla $2.4 million and arbitrator Rolf Valtin must choose.

The Pirates offered Bonilla a four-year contract worth at least $15.3 million, but the outfielder wanted more for a multi-year deal. "I'll take it day by day," Bonilla said. "There's not really much to say. I can't really say anything until the decision is made. I don't want his decision to be swayed by a stupid statement or something like that." Meanwhile, Bonds and the Pirates argued Friday in Chicago before arbitrator Stephen Goldberg, who also heard the case between Greg Swindell and the Indians.

Bonds is asking for $3.25 million while Pittsburgh is offering $2.3 million. Four players agreed Friday to one-year contracts, leaving 21 in arbitration. First baseman Mark McGwire got the biggest deal, settling with Oakland at $2.8 million. The 27-year-old McGwire, the American League Rookie of the Year in 1987, had 39 homers, 108 RBIs and an America League league-leading 110 walks last season. He made $1,545,000.

McGwire had been asking for $3.3 million, while Oakland was offering $2 change In working conditions. I can't imagine how anybody thought that could be done without prior consultation and agreement with the players and the other -clubs." Fehr said the union would not allow Houston to play home games in another city. "A club is not free to move its home, base," Fehr said. Fehr said he did not know what the so--lution would be, and said he would wait for the National League to contact the union. Old Timers series renamed Baseball's Old-Timers Series has a new name and a new sponsor.

The series which will be called the Heroes of Baseball Series will be sponsored by the Upper Deck Company, manufacturers of baseball cards. The 24-game exhibition series will consist of three-inning or one-hour time limit, games to benefit the Baseball Assistance Team. Each game will precede a regularly-scheduled major-league game. BAT is a non-profit organization founded in 1986 to provide support and assistance to members of the baseball family in need, including veterans of the Negro Leagues. The Upper Deck Company replaces Equitable Financial Companies as the sponsor of the annual series.

Upper Deck will donate $10,000 to BAT for each of the Heroes of Baseball games. The games will be held in 24 major-league parks, beginning April 14 at Minnesota and ending Sept. 1 at Montreal. i 111 Right-hander David Cone and the New York Mets agreed to $2.35 million, 80 percent of the difference between his request of $2.45 million and the team's offer of $1.95 million. Cone, a 28-year-old right-hander, was 14-10 last year with a 3.23 ERA and an NL-leading 233 strikeouts In 211 innings.

He won $1.3 million in arbitration last winter, when the Mets had offered $815,000. Third baseman Kevin Seitzer and the Kansas City Royals agreed to a one-year contract worth $1,625,000, a raise of $623,750. Another third baseman, Steve Buechele of Texas, settled at $775,000, an increase of $225,000. Catcher Ron Hassey, who left the Athletics after the season and became a free agent, agreed to a minor-league contract with Montreal. His signing leaves 28 free agents.

Astros draw union's wrath Donald Fehr, the head of the Major League Baseball Players Association, says the union is not likely to allow the Houston Astros to leave the Astrodome for a month during the 1992 season. Astros Chairman John McMullen said earlier this week that he had rented the Astrodome for the Republican Convention from July 27-Aug. 23. McMullen said the team either would take a month-long road trip or play home games at another site, possibly the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. "The Basic Agreement does not permit 30-day road trips," Fehr said, referring to the collective bargaining agreement between players and the 26 clubs.
