NUMBERS 5 & 6: Harmon Killebrew hit...

NUMBERS 5 & 6: Harmon Killebrew hit 573 home runs in his career, fifth on the all-time list. Former Angel Reggie Jackson was just behind him, at 563. Maybe Reggie can even the score a little. . . . The two Hall of Famers headline a short exhibition softball game today at Anaheim Stadium, a prelude to the Angels-Texas Rangers game. Other big names: former Rams runner Eric Dickerson and USC basketball’s Cheryl Miller. It’s a traveling road show for Upper Deck, the baseball card makers.

FAIREST FOULS: Baseball statisticians don’t keep books on where the most foul balls get hit. But one veteran Anaheim Stadium usher (he prefers anonymity) offers some advice: “The best place to sit is Field Level. . . . Foul balls are a result of what pitchers throw. If you’ve got a junk baller, batters hit more fouls. . . . Also, left-handers foul to the right, right-handers foul left.”

BEYOND GEORGE: The upcoming issue of Rolling Stone features the growing success of the Offspring, and notes that the punk band is from Orange County “where the pace is slower . . . and the folks all voted for George Bush.” . . . But the article quotes the band’s lead singer Bryan Holland saying in defense: “People don’t realize that there is stuff in Orange County that’s kind of cool, too. I like to go down to bars on (Huntington Beach’s) Main Street, especially this place Taxi--it’s down to earth. . . . Plus the beaches are really the best.”

SLOOP SCOOP: Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa owes thanks to Michigan multimillionaire Jack Batts, and he’s not even an alumnus. Batts wanted to give his 64-foot sloop Volcano to a deserving school. After shopping around, he chose Orange Coast, and its much-acclaimed sailing program. . . . “It was important to me that she go to a school that will use her for education,” Batts says. Volcano will be part of the support fleet heading to Hawaii next summer for the 1995 Trans-Pacific Yacht Race.
