NAMES IN THE GAMES : Can Andre Dawson Dish It Out?

Chicago Cubs right fielder Andre Dawson’s plan to erect a satellite dish at his home in Miami so his family can watch him play has sparked a neighborhood rhubarb.

Cubs games aren’t shown by the local cable company, so the ball player wants to put a motorized satellite dish in the front yard of his swank home.

“If a little kid has his hand on the motor when Andre Dawson decides to turn his dish, it will chop the kid’s hands off,” said Barry Davis, Dawson’s next-door neighbor.

Last month, a zoning appeals board gave Dawson permission to build a 10-foot-wide dish at his house. But the board voted against Dawson placing the dish a few feet from Davis’ driveway. Dawson appealed, and he and Davis are scheduled to take their dispute to the Dade County Metro Zoning Commission next week.
