Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
All right, let's go to Howard.
Howard CosellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
All right, I am with the gentleman who is the president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, Mr. Peter Ueberroth.
Howard CosellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Very quickly, Peter, you go to Moscow shortly, and there you will recommend one, maybe two demonstration games for the Olympics, which allow such.
Howard CosellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What will you be recommending?
Jon RamsaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
[crowd cheering] Ladies and gentlemen, the 23rd Olympiad will be held in Los Angeles in 1984, and amateur baseball will have its largest role ever in the Olympics as a demonstration sport with games to be played at Dodger Stadium.

We are pleased to have with us today to throw the first ball the president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, Peter Ueberroth, accompanied by the official Olympic mascot, Sam the Eagle.

Marv AlbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He said, "No one talked about Gibson at the owners meeting.
Marv AlbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
No one will tell me how to cut my payroll." He said, "The party's over." Yankee owner George Steinbrenner, according to the New York Daily News, said that Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth got us together on numerous occasions, always with four lawyers in the room to guard against anything that could be construed as collusion.
Marv AlbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And finally, Kirk Gibson's agent, Doug Baldwin, told NBC Sports that the Atlanta Braves offered Gibson a five-year contract, but the agent said that two days after the commissioner visited owner Ted Turner, they reduced the offer to three years, and a week later, uh, they were not interested at all.
Marv AlbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The Braves would not comment on this.
Marv AlbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Vin ScullyHOST
Ladies and gentlemen, the First Lady of the United States, Mrs. Nancy Reagan, and the Commissioner of Baseball, Mr. Peter Ueberroth.
Peter UeberrothSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Mrs. Reagan, we're so pleased that you've come to throw out the first pitch.
Peter UeberrothSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's your fight against drugs that's helping kids throughout America, and we'd like you to take this time to give your message to the kids in America.
Nancy ReaganSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
These youngsters are fortunate because they can grow and learn and become anything they want to be.
Nancy ReaganSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So to all of you watching, I ask you, please help us get the message out to our children.
Nancy ReaganSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If they're offered drugs, tell them to just say no. I'd like to thank Peter Ueberroth and the Major League Baseball for their efforts in the fight against drug abuse, and for taking time to recognize the Just Say No program.
Nancy ReaganSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm very grateful for the opportunity to reach such a large audience.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
On the other side, a lot of problems this year in baseball as well.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There was that strike that really turned out to be nothing more than a mini vacation, but overriding, the baseball drug problem, and the highly publicized trial in Pittsburgh putting a cloud over the sport in the year 1985, a situation which the commissioner, Peter Ueberroth, has vowed to rectify in the very near future.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But for right now, for the next week or so, the attention focused on the Show-Me State, St. Louis against Kansas City, as we're ready for game one of the World Series.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Funny to have Mr. October in the booth.
41 MINS LATER
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
One away.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Interesting little thing with Lonnie Smith, he can be voted shares by both teams.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He started the season with the Cardinals, and he finishes with the Royals, though in checking with the commissioner's office, you can only get one full share, and you know the Royals are gonna vote him a full share even though he was here only about 80% of the time.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
[laughs]
Jimmy SephaloSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Because of the injuries to Ernie Whitt and Tony Fernandez, the champagne has been put on hold for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Jimmy SephaloSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There has been celebrations in three of the four playoff cities, and the use of champagne during those celebrations has become a concern of Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth.
Jimmy SephaloSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
After their win in Game seven of last year's World Series, the New York Mets celebrated their championship in traditional fashion with hugs all around and enough champagne for everyone.
Jimmy SephaloSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
[cheering] Some felt the celebration went a bit too far when it went public, leaving the locker room for the pitching mound at Shea Stadium.
Jimmy SephaloSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The break in tradition occurred when champagne continued to flow on the playing field.
Jimmy SephaloSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now last Sunday's New York Times revealed that Commissioner Peter Ueberroth is concerned about the prominence of alcoholic beverages in baseball's post-game celebrations.
Peter UeberrothSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, basically, I'm against it.
Peter UeberrothSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I don't think it's a good idea.
Gale GardnerHOST
How do you do that, very quickly?
Lloyd MosebyGUEST
Well, I think that, uh, we have to continue with the, with the, uh, programs, uh, set in motion by Peter Ueberroth, by Bart Giamatti, and, uh, some of the new initiatives that Fay Vincent is considering.
Lloyd MosebyGUEST
Uh, I think that, uh, through, uh, that process, we will continue to bring people around the table and, uh, uh, generate, uh, viable candidates.
Gale GardnerHOST
Is there one specific thing you can say?
Bob CostasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But the moment now belongs to Tommy Lasorda.
Bob CostasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And before we talk with him and with his general manager, Fred Claire, let's turn to Commissioner Peter Ueberroth, who has the presentation of the championship trophy, which belongs to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Peter UeberrothSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, baseball's a world sport, but the Dodgers are in the center of the world tonight.
Peter UeberrothSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And they've done it, and they've done it, uh, by just playing good old fight.
Lonnie SmithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Uh, as far as the other players who aren't on any drugs, I think it should be their right to either do it or not do it.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Thoughts of Lonnie Smith on a subject that Peter Ueberroth has vowed to address and very shortly.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Outside to Van Slyke as we start the bottom of the second inning.
