KWBG Sports for November 2nd


 LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Los Angeles Dodgers and Major League
Baseball have agreed on a process to sell the team. In a joint
statement released late Tuesday, both sides say they have agreed
"to a court supervised process." The agreement also includes the
sale of team media rights "to realize maximum value for the
Dodgers and their owner, Frank McCourt."
   
     NEW YORK (AP) - Clayton Kershaw, Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier
(EE'-thee-ur) are the first trio of Los Angeles Dodgers to win NL
Gold Gloves in the same year. Adrian Gonzalez, Dustin Pedroia
(peh-DROY'-uh) and Jacoby (jah-KOH'-bee) Ellsbury became the first
three Red Sox in 31 seasons to win the AL honor together.
   
     BOSTON (AP) - On NHL ice, Johnny Boychuk and Daniel Paille
(PY'-ay) scored 47 seconds apart in the third period, and the
Boston Bruins ended a three-game losing streak with a 5-3 win over
the Ottawa Senators. The defending Stanley Cup champions, who
finished the first month of the season with the worst record in the
Eastern Conference at 3-7, ended the Senators' six-game win streak.
   
     ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton has ruled out
a tax increase as a way to help pay for a new proposed Vikings
stadium. That blows a $350 million hole in the team's plan to build
a $1.1 billion home in the suburbs north of the Twin Cities.

     PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Big East is ready to start adding
members after spending the last month and a half losing them. A
person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press the
Big East will invite Boise State, Navy and Air Force for football
only and SMU, Houston and Central Florida for all sports in
upcoming days.
