Jose Uribe
dies in car crash
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Former San Francisco Giants shortstop Jose Uribe was killed early Friday in a car crash in his native Dominican Republic.
The Dominican National Police said the 47-year-old Uribe's sport utility vehicle crashed about 3 a.m. on a highway about 30 miles west of the capital, Santo Domingo. Police said the cause of the crash was under investigation.
Uribe owned a hardware store and other businesses in his hometown of Juan Baron in recent years, and ran unsuccessfully for mayor earlier this year. Police said he was driving to his hometown, in San Cristobal province, at the time of the crash.
Uribe played in the major leagues from 1984-93, mostly with the Giants. He began his career with one season in St. Louis, when he was known as Jose Gonzalez Uribe, and ended it with one in Houston.
Cubs' Hendry
released
CHICAGO — Chicago Cubs general manager Jim Hendry was released from an Orlando Fla., hospital Friday, two days after an angioplasty during the baseball winter meetings.
"I'm feeling good," Hendry told reporters, adding he'd had numerous calls and messages from friends and those connected to the game. "I'm back to myself."
Hendry will remain in Florida until Sunday and hopes to resume work on Monday during what has been a frenetic offseason for the Cubs, whose most recent major deal was to work out a four-year, $40 million deal with lefty Ted Lilly.
Hendry also thanked those who persuaded him to go to the hospital. He began feeling ill Tuesday. New manager Lou Piniella drove him to the hospital Wednesday.
"I'm very, very grateful for the support I've had from the people who care about me. I'm feeling a lot better and very, very appreciative for everything people have done for me," Hendry said.
Camby ejected
from Miami game
DENVER — Denver center Marcus Camby was ejected in the first quarter of the Nuggets' game against Miami after swatting a cup of throat lozenges onto the floor. Camby became irritated during a timeout with 2:02 left in the opening quarter after teammate Carmelo Anthony was called for a technical foul. Anthony was hit with the technical for yelling at the officials after a loose ball near the Nuggets' bench was ruled off of him instead of Miami's Dwyane Wade.
