Hundley

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Increasingly frustrated by his projected role as well as a lack of communication from the Orioles front office, backup catcher Lenny Webster reiterated his desire to be traded yesterday, a move he acknowledges he can't force but hopes to influence in a face-to-face meeting with general manager Frank Wren."

The Orioles will need a lot of outside help to get back on a par with the defending world champion New York Yankees -- and there is plenty to be found in this year's talent-rich free-agent market -- but the key move of the off-season doesn't have to be a free-agent acquisition.The club could solve a long-standing problem by making a deal for displaced New York Mets catcher Todd Hundley, who is all but certain to be traded sometime this winter.Hundley became expendable when the Mets signed Mike Piazza to a seven-year, $91 million deal.

Catcher Mike Piazza, who had been exiled to Florida while 10 more solvent franchises fought to acquire him, joined his third team in a little more than a week yesterday when the salary-slashing Marlins dealt the five-time All-Star to the New York Mets for three top minor-leaguers.Piazza, who has spectacular offensive statistics in seven big-league seasons, has been traded from Los Angeles to Florida to New York in just eight days in two deals that reflect baseball's chaotic economics as much as the needs of the teams involved.

Thomas "T. J." Hundley long ago stopped listening to his mother's advice - or "nagging" as he good-naturedly calls it. So when Rita Hundley said she'd found the perfect mate for her only unmarried child, T. J. easily ignored her pleas that he at least take the woman on a date.Peggy Radasky was a widow whose daughter, Britt, was enrolled in Rita Hundley's first-grade class in the fall of 1996. Radasky, with Britt and younger daughter, Bo, had moved back to this area from Colorado, after her husband was killed in a car accident in the spring of 1996.

WASHINGTON -- From a booth atop the ice here at MCI Center the other night, ESPN's Steve Levy looked over the delirium left in the wake of the Washington Capitals' 3-2 overtime win over Buffalo in the Eastern Conference finals and mused on how much fun he was having."

There are a lot of people in drag racing like Ed Hundley. They enjoy racing every week, taking their street-legal cars as fast as they can go in a quarter-mile.Hundley has been racing for nearly 30 years. This year, the 51-year-old did what he and millions of other Americans always have wanted to do. He purchased a new Chevrolet Corvette."It is something I always wanted, but I thought I couldn't afford it," said the Westminster native. "It was kind of a spur-of-the-moment-type thing. I traded my 1995 Chevrolet Z-28 in on it."

A Howard County high school senior has resigned as the president of her student government because, she says, holding office conflicts with her beliefs as a Jehovah's Witness.Atholton High School senior Jennifer Hundley, 17, left her post Jan. 6 after parishioners from her 160-member North Laurel congregation warned her that filling the post violated their interpretation of biblical teaching."The issue was whether student government was important to me or was Jehovah more important to me," said Ms. Hundley, who lives in the Laurel area.

As an archaeologist, Paul Hundley digs his share of sand. But in his case, he often finds the work obscured by a few feet of murky water and darkness.Mr. Hundley is among a relatively rare breed of archaeologist who practices his trade underwater, examining sunken remains of antique vessels or submerged coastal land for clues about the lives of people long gone. It's not treasure he's after, but history, even prehistory, and Mr. Hundley says there's plenty to be discovered in the depths and shallows of the Chesapeake Bay.Along with historic shipwrecks, there are sites that used to be on land and have since been submerged by erosion or rising sea level.

William "Pat" Hundley outshines Arnold Schwarzenegger any day.In "Kindergarten Cop," now showing at area theaters, the burly, scowling Austrian muscle man proved a fumbling teacher, nearly undone by the kids. But Mr. Hundley, a 30-year-old teacher at Stoneleigh Elementary School in Baltimore County and one of the few males in the area to take on rambunctious 5- and 6-year-olds in a kindergarten class every day, takes it all in stride."It's a little like letting out a box of puppies on a baseball field and then trying to get them back in," he says, describing the experience on a recent afternoon between classes.

Lakers@Celtics 8 p.m. [TNT] No Andrew Bynum (pictured with crutches), no problem. At least when the Lakers played the Knicks - though it always helps to get 61 points from Kobe Bryant. I'm going out on a limb and predicting Bryant doesn't get 61 against Boston. Which reminds me of how "Hot Rod" Hundley used to talk about the time he and Elgin Baylor combined for 73 points - Hundley scored two of them.

SO YOU WANT to get away, you and the significant other, and you're looking for a place to unwind, have a little fun, maybe take in a few sights. The Caribbean? Please. The whole frolicking-in-the-surf, sipping-the-fruity-drinks thing has been done to death. Europe? Sure, that's fine - if you want to run into every other mope from Baltimore with a Ravens T-shirt and Nike sweats clicking a Kodak Instamatic. No, what you need is someplace exciting. Someplace off the beaten path. And I've got just the place: Uzbekistan.
