BASEBALL : DAILY REPORT : ANGELS : Polonia to Fans: No Autographs

After being booed for failing to catch two fly balls in left field Monday--and later tipping his cap in mock thanks--Luis Polonia said he will no longer sign autographs because of what he saw as betrayal. He stood by that Tuesday. “For right now,” he said. “If they want to be bad to me, I’ll be bad, too. I don’t need them.”

He bristled about the booing, but later shrugged it off.

“It surprised me, but it doesn’t hurt,” Polonia said. “They can boo and yell. It’s OK. They paid to come to the game, and I get some of that money. Keep coming.”

Fernando Valenzuela will make his second start for the Angels today, facing Milwaukee at 1 p.m. . . . Catcher Lance Parrish, who strained the flexor tendon in his right forearm Sunday underwent X-rays Tuesday that proved negative. . .
