(AP) If popularity were the only criteria, then Rick Dempsey wouldn't have to worry about getting a job with the Baltimore Orioles this year. Dempsey reached near-legendary status with the Orioles, from 1976-86, entertaining the hometown fans with his off-field antics as well as winning dozens of games with his hitting and defense. When they closed down Memorial Stadium last October, the ovation he received was as loud as ones given to former Baltimore stars in the Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, manager John Oates has no room for sentiment in picking his final roster. So the 42-year-old Dempsey, a non-roster invitee this spring, is going to have to prove he's good enough to stick around as a backup catcher.

Although his competition is relative unknowns Jeff Tackett and Mark Parent, Dempsey isn't given any points for being a fan favorite. "I'm going to look at all three of them, and whoever is the best catcher will come to Balti- decades. He was the MVP of the 1983 World Series, when Baltimore beat the Philadelphia Phillies, and has played in more games than any other Orioles catcher. The Colorado Rockies have established ticket prices ranging from $16 to $1 which chairman John Antonucci said "rank among the lowest in Major League Baseball." In announcing ticket details for the National League expansion team's debut in 1993, An-' tonucci also said the club is committed to offering a minimum of 150,000 free tickets each season to underprivileged children and their families. The competitive ticket-price structure, announced Thursday, is in line with the ownership's philosophy of "making the national pastime accessible to the entire strata of our society not just a few," Antonucci said.

"We have said all along that we intend to give something back to the fans whose support made this franchise possible." more with us," Oates said. "That's what it will.be based on nothing more and nothing less." That's fine with Dempsey, who contends he's a better player now than in his first stint with the Orioles. What he's lost because of his age, he's made up for with hard work. "The backup role is tough, because you're forced to really use everything you've got in order to be totally successful," he said. "Every year that I've been in this position of having to make the ballclub, I've had to prove all over again that I'm capable of throwing guys out, calling a good game and getting some hits.

In a lot of respects, I've become a more complete ballplayer than I ever really was throughout my whole career." And what a career it's been. Dempsey has played in 1,758 game spanning four different West FRIDAY 10AM-10PM, SATURDAY 9AM 8PM AT Fred Schmid is the place to be this Friday Saturday YOU'LL FIND EXTENDED HOURS GREAT LOW PRICES! ni 0 ft U- ul(r 1 I IJl IT i GoldStar Continued from A6 er in basketball today," he said.
