And the im- portatant thing about the game is not whether one wins or loses, but how the game is played. HftBQBVCr Yet. like all cliches, these all contain some grain of truth. Although no longer the "national pasttime." baseball still holds a special place in the hearts of sports fans, and deep down, every American likes to think the game does build character and a sense of fairness in those who play it. For this reason, baseball fans ought to applaud the firing of Yankee manager Billy Martin. Martin's latest fracas proves beyond any doubt he cannot behave himself when it comes to using his head instead of his fists. Pun- ching out somebody who offends you might be forgiveable once, but Martin has gotten involved in too many fights to be forgiven. It is not unreasonable of the public to expect a man in Martin's position to set a behavioral example for baseball fans, especially young ones. Unfortunately. Martin's behavior in the past has been more like that of a petulant child than that of a responsible adult. Like a child, he was chastened by his firing last year, but apparently the lesson didn't stick, and the Yankee management has been forced to resort to a punishment which will hopefully be of a more permanent nature.
