BASEBALL

Wayne Kirby is 27 years old and he hasn't had a major-league at-bat. He hasn't hit a home run since 1987, and he has hit only four in eight minor-league seasons.

The Cleveland Indians may want him anyway because he has 286 stolen bases in the minors.

"The reason I signed with Cleveland is that I heard they were changing their system to speed and lots of line-drive hitters," said Kirby, whose younger brother, Terry, is a running back for the University of Virginia football team.
