Teams Close to Blows Over Jewelery

                   By JIM COUR
                   AP Sports Writer

                   August 25, 2001

                   SEATTLE -- Al Martin of the Seattle Mariners was asked about the absurdity of
                   two baseball teams almost getting into a brawl over a pair of earrings.

                   "It doesn't even sound right," Martin said with a smile.

                   But it came close to happening in the ninth inning of the Cleveland
                   Indians-Mariners game on Saturday.

                   As Arthur Rhodes began warming up to replace the injured Kazuhiro Sasaki,
                   the Indians' Omar Vizquel asked the umpires to have Rhodes take his diamond
                   earrings off. He complained about the glare from the sun.

                   "It was blinding," Vizquel said. "It was distracting."

                   Rhodes, who has worn earrings for two seasons in Seattle, became incensed.

                   "I told the umpire I've been wearing them the whole year," he said. "So why
                   should I take them out?"

                   No punches were thrown, but the teams came menacingly onto the field and it
                   looked to third-base umpire Tim McClelland that mayhem might happen.
                   Although Rhodes eventually took his earrings out and handed them to pitching
                   coach Bryan Price, McClelland ejected Rhodes.

                   "It became a shouting match between Vizquel and Rhodes," McClelland said.
                   "To stop anything further, I asked Arthur to leave."

                   After the game, Rhodes was still unhappy with the smallish Vizquel,
                   Cleveland's stellar shortstop.

                   "A little short hitter like him," he said with a snort. "A little midget. I'm not
                   worried about him. I'll go right at him if I face him again. A buck 25. You think
                   I'm scared of him?"

                   Vizquel said he couldn't understand why Rhodes became so testy.

                   "I don't know why he acted the way he acted," he said. "I think it's in the rules
                   anyway that you're not supposed to wear any jewelry out there. He started
                   pointing at my head. He was pointing at me like he was going to hit me or something."

                   Rhodes said he planned to wear his earrings when he pitched again, but didn't have them on when he
                   talked to reporters.

                   "I got them put up," he said. "They're on probation."

                   Martin scored the winning run in Seattle's 3-2 victory as a pinch-runner with no outs in the 11th inning on
                   John Rocker's throwing error. He managed to put some humor in the bizarre day.

                   "I don't think I'll get any earrings any time soon," he said.
