New York Mets. And I also
have discussed it with manager
Preston Gomez.
“They told me that perfor-
mance more than record was
important under the circum-
stances. So I try to pitch to hold
the other team to one, two or
three runs and hope we got
enough hits to win.”
Arlin, a former collegiate All
-American, is practicing dentis-
try in the offseason in Ohio,
where he is on the faculty of
the college of dentistry at Ohio
State.
“I work in the dental home
care program,” he explained.
“We go into the community
(Columbus, Ohio) to care for
the elderly and others who are
not ambulatory and could not
obtain care,” he continued.
Arlin, whose grandfather,
Harold, is credited with making
the first radio broadcast in 1921
(with KDKA in Pittsburgh)
says he is “looking forward to
practicing in California.”
He still must pass an exami-
nation before he can practice in
this state, but anticipates no
problem in that regard.
Page 2
How do you combine den-
tistry and athletics?
Arlin has good examples.
One is another Ohio State
grad, Dr. Les Horvath of Los
Angeles, who won the
Heisman Trophy in 1945 and
went on to play football for
the Rams before starting a
successful practice. Dallas
Long, former world-record
holder in the shot put and an
Olympic champion, studied
dentistry while he was per-
forming in track.
Steve said he is not con-
cerned that he might receive
an injury while pitching that
might hurt his dentistry career.
“It could happen,” the right-
hander conceded, “but then,
things can hurt your career,
even if you are standing be-
hind a counter and have an
accident.”
Arlin, married and the fa-
ther of a two-year-old son,
obviously doesn’t expect such
trouble.
After all, when you pitch
for a tail-end team you have to
think positively.
“You have to laugh,” he
concluded. Otherwise, you
might cry.
