CANTON, Ohio (AP) — While his six other classmates for this weekend's enshrinement sported blue golf shirts given them by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Cris Carter was dressed in suit and tie. He might never take them off. ''Man, I am in the Hall of Fame. I am wearing a suit every day,'' Carter said Friday as the 50th anniversary festivities for the hall began. Carter will join Jonathan Ogden, Larry Allen, Bill Parcells, Warren Sapp, Dave Robinson and Curley Culp as the newest inductees on Saturday night. He was, by far, the most emotional during a news conference Friday as festivities began for the 50th anniversary celebration of the hall. The only member of the Class of 2013 who didn't win an NFL title, Carter used a handkerchief to wipe away the tears when asked about his career and the fact it took six tries to get elected. ''Minnesota fans didn't judge me when a lot of bad things were being said about me,'' Carter said, frequently pausing to regain his composure. ''They always cheered for Cris. The only thing I really wish is we could've won that championship for those people. What they did for my life, every day I went out there, I played for those people.'' AP photo Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famer Larry Allen smiles while watching his son and the varsity football team lift weights at De La Salle high school July 30 in Concord. After 12 seasons and a Super Bowl title with the Cowboys and two final years closer to home with San Francisco, he will give his Hall of Fame speech Saturday. Carter was exiled from Philadelphia in 1989 after off-field problems, including drug and alcohol issues. The first one to call him and offer a job was Parcells. Carter ever told his agent he wanted to go to the Giants, but he wound up with the Vikings, who had a stronger need for a wide receiver. All Carter did the rest of his 16-season career was wind up second at his retirement in 2002 behind Jerry Rice for all-time receptions and touchdowns. He's fourth in those categories now. As he mentioned, though, he doesn't have that championship. For the other six, those Super Bowl rings will have a blinding shine to them Saturday night. Parcells was a winner of two NFL titles as a coach and master of the franchise turnaround.

Quite a group, and a record 121 hall members are expected to attend the ceremonies. ''It's somewhat overwhelming,'' said Ogden, the Baltimore Ravens' first-ever draft choice and the first team member elected to the hall.

(AP) — A seemingly relaxed Alex Rodriguez rejoined the New York Yankees' Double-A farm team on Friday for what might be his final games before a lengthy suspension from Major League Baseball. The 38-year-old third baseman smiled a lot, met his temporary teammates on the Trenton Thunder and shook hands with coaches after stepping on the field at 4:13 p.m. He walked on a 3-1 pitch in his first at-bat. Rodriguez did not field questions from a massive media contingent before taking batting practice, throwing and fielding ground balls in a 30minute preparation for the game against the Reading Fightin Phils. Rodriguez's second appearance with the Thunder this season drew a crowd that was close to a sellout of about 7,000. What was missing was tons of A-Rod uniform tops. While there were a couple of A-Rod jerseys in the stands, Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira tops were sprinkled in along with some from the Philadelphia Phillies. time, grabbed a Super Bowl ring in 2000. Larry Allen, a 1995 champion with Dallas, was the rare equal of Ogden on the offensive line in their era. Sapp, an outstanding defensive tackle with a personality as big as any football stadium, won the 2002 championship in Tampa Bay. Robinson, a major cog in Green Bay's championship machine under Vince Lombardi, won the first two Super Bowls. Culp, one of the AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Tiger Woods had a shot at making history with a magical 59. He swore he wasn't disappointed to come up short. '' D i s a p p o i n t e d ? Absolutely not,'' he said. Then he cracked, ''A 61's pretty good. I'm not bummed.'' Like a pitcher having to settle for a shutout instead of a perfect game, Woods could console himself by tying his career best and building a seven-shot lead Friday through 36 holes at the Bridgestone Invitational. Pursuing his eighth victory at Firestone Country Club, Woods opened birdie-eagle — stuffing an approach to 3 feet at the first hole and holing a 20-footer for 3 at the par-5 second. He had two more birdies on the front nine, and had four in a row to start the back nine in a light rain. Needing to go only 2 under over his last five holes, he missed birdie putts inside 10 feet at 15 and 17. He saved par on the last with a 25-footer after an errant drive and a NEW YORK (AP) — Pressure to get suspensions over with before the playoffs could force an end to negotiations in baseball's latest drug scandal. Monday appears to be the deadline for Alex Rodriguez and 13 others to accept suspensions for their ties to the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic. While A-Rod is expected to get a lengthy ban, a penalty starting that day would allow Texas All-Star outfielder Nelson Cruz to return for October. Major League Baseball is prepared to issue two simultaneous announcements no later than Monday, a person familiar with the process told The Associated Press on Thursday. One would list players who accept suspensions; the other would name those disciplined without deals, but who could challenge penalties before an arbitrator. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. Most players face 50-game suspensions for their links to the now-closed Florida clinic, which has been accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. But baseball is threatening to kick Rodriguez out for life unless the three-time AL MVP agrees to a long ban, perhaps around 200 games. Rodriguez appeared ready to talk Thursday as he was leaving the team's minor league complex in Tampa, Fla., waving a group of writers to his car in the parking lot and rolling down the window. However, when he saw a second group with TV cameras approaching, he said: See WOODS, page 2B See MLB, page 2B On the tube Tomasz Adamek (48-2-0) vs. Dominick Guinn (34-9-1); cruiserweights, Eddie Chambers (36-3-0) vs. Thabiso Mchunu (12-1-0); middleweights, Curtis Stevens (24-3-0) vs. Saul Roman (37-9-0), at Uncasville, Conn.
