TEAM WILL WAIT BEFORE DECIDING ON HUDLER

Arte Moreno said the Angels would wait until court proceedings unfold
to make a decision on the future of television commentator Rex Hudler,
who was arrested Sunday on marijuana charges.

"We're going to wait until due process takes its course, and then
we'll sit down and make a decision," said Moreno, the Angel owner.
"It's a very unfortunate thing, but it's the law. It's the law, period."

Hudler, suspended indefinitely by the Angels, was charged with
possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia Sunday after security
personnel at Kansas City International Airport found a small amount of
marijuana and a marijuana pipe in his suitcase.

The charge carries a maximum penalty of a $500 fine and/or a six-month
jail sentence, said Jim Wyrsch, the Kansas City attorney representing
Hudler.

Jose Mota, a member of the Angels' Spanish radio team, worked the
Channel 9 telecast of Friday's game between the Angels and Kansas City
Royals in Hudler's absence.
