There are no fans flocking around him these days for autographs. No reporters swarm him before and after the game. No calls for commercial endorsements. "It's kind of like people forget all about you," Vancouver first baseman J.T. Snow said by phone from Albuquerque, N.M., "but if you want to know the truth, I think this is really what I needed. It's been good for me, because I've been able to work on things without worrying about all of the other things.

Champagne hasn't visited the Angels' clubhouse since 1986, a thousand final scores and seven years ago, so Luis Polonia was forced to improvise. Palm a towel, fill it with shaving cream and break through a postgame media huddle to carry out a hit on J.T. Snow. "Who did that?" asked Snow. A snitch squealed. "His initials are L.P." Snow nodded. In this room, that could only mean one man, Lance Parrish having been cut last season. "Being a young rookie, you got to take stuff like this," Snow said.

He is loath to admit it, but J.T. Snow carries a heavy burden of expectation with him each time he steps to the plate. Can he duplicate his torrid hitting of April, 1993? If so, when? If not, why? No matter how much he tries to bury the past, he can't escape from it. Perhaps only by showing others there is a present and future to consider can the first baseman truly put it behind him.

The young man sitting on the dugout steps flashed a familiar smile. It was good to be back, J.T. Snow said Saturday afternoon. He had just flown in from Colorado Springs, Colo., landing at noon and leaving only enough time at his Corona del Mar home to grab a sandwich before bolting for Anaheim Stadium. "I couldn't wait to get here," he said. Older, wiser, maybe even a bit more cynical, Snow made his return to the Angels, determined to adhere to a new directive from Manager Marcel Lachemann.
