BASEBALL DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE MAJOR LEAGUES : Cardinals’ Jefferies Added to All-Stars
St. Louis Cardinal first baseman Gregg Jefferies was added to the National League All-Star team on Saturday.
Jefferies, fourth in the NL with a .347 average and leading the league in hits with 112, takes the spot of injured San Francisco second baseman Robby Thompson.
“It’s something you dream about,” Jefferies said. “It’s something you don’t think will ever happen. It hasn’t kicked in yet. I told my mom and dad and I’ll never forget the look on their faces.”

The Montreal Expos, who have long sought a Quebec native, moved a step closer Saturday.
The Expos obtained left-hander Denis Boucher of the Montreal suburb of Lachine from the San Diego Padres for minor league infielder Austin Manahan and either cash or a player to be picked.
Boucher is 3-9 in the majors, spending part of the 1991 season with the Toronto Blue Jays and part of 1992 with the Cleveland Indians.
