(AP) — In one breath, Aldon Smith says he has moved past the disappointment of not winning the Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award. In the next, he still simmers. ''That was last year,'' Smith said Tuesday after the San Francisco 49ers wrapped up another off- season organized team activity. ''This year, I just want to be the best defensive player in the NFL. ''But I haven't forgot- ten.'' After racking up a franchise-rookie record 14 sacks — best among NFL rookies — to go with two forced fumbles, Smith's personal goal seemed well within reach. Instead, he fin- ished runner-up to Den- ver's Von Miller, who received 39 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who reg- ularly cover the NFL. Smith had the other 11. Smith believes that many considered him a one-dimensional player. Converted from a defensive end drafted seventh overall out of Missouri, Smith piled up sacks next to All-Pros Justin Smith, Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bow- man for one of the NFL's best defense at a remark- able rate.

All that could soon As much of a transi- tion as he made as a rookie, Smith enters his second-year with an added twist. working to be more than just a pass-rushing out- side linebacker in a 3-4 scheme this offseason. The demanding shift requires more smarts and athleticism than anything the linebacker did as a rookie, and it's a hurdle he knows he has to clear if he ever wants to be considered a Pro Bowl talent. The 22-year-old is The 6-foot-4, 258- pounder is adjusting to chasing running backs and receivers in hopes of being an every down player — and a starter — for a defensive unit that propelled resurgent San Francisco to a 13-3 regu- lar season and an over- time loss in the NFC championship game to the New York Giants. He's hoping to play a bigger role for a team considered a strong Super Bowl contender. ''That's somebody who's rising fast,'' 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said of Smith's development. ''It's been the same Aldon that we saw last season. And even bet- ter.'' 1B Wednesday June 6, 2012 49ers' Aldon Smith aims higher MCT file photo Aldon Smith celebrates a sack of Giants quarterback Eli Manning Jan. 22 Longtime manager Lasorda has heart attack Hall of Fame manager Tom Lasorda was hospitalized in stable condition Tues- day, a day after having a ''mild'' heart attack while representing the Los Ange- les Dodgers at the Major League Baseball draft. The Dodgers said doc- tors inserted a stent to repair a blocked artery in Lasorda's heart. The ener- getic, enthusiastic 84-year- old was resting comfort- ably and there was a chance he could return to California on Wednesday. ''The doctors confirmed NEW YORK (AP) — Lasorda's condition. He is in his sixth decade working for the Dodgers organiza- tion, starting out as a pitch- er when the team was still in Brooklyn. I do bleed Dodger Blue. I'm looking forward to being back at the stadium to cheer on the Dodgers,'' Lasorda said, according to the Dodgers' Twitter feed. TMZ first reported Lasorda had a heart attack in June 1996 while he was the Dodgers' man- ager and retired the next month. He guided the Dodgers to 1,599 victories and won the World Series in 1981 and 1988, the team's last two titles. The Dodgers won four NL pennants and eight division titles in his 20- year career. Lasorda has worked in the team's front office since his retirement and has been a constant presence around the Dodgers. He was with them in spring training this year and drew a nice ovation at Dodger Stadium last week when he was at a game and his pic- ture was shown on the videoboard.

The workers last month authorized a strike to begin Friday, a day before the running of the Belmont Stakes, the final jewel in the Triple Crown.

''We've been trying to get a deal for two years now,'' he said from the union local's headquar- ters in Queens. ''The workers are just com- pletely frustrated. No one's looking to disrupt the Belmont Stakes.'' The racing organiza- tion — recently touched by scandals, government investigations and last month's firing of its pres- ident and the state's takeover of its board — called the union's strike threat ''very troubling'' because it could disrupt a race expected to draw about 100,000 to the track, plus a worldwide television audience in the millions. ''It is extremely self- serving for Local 3 to use the attention and excite- ment of a Triple Crown attempt to further its own agenda,'' NYRA said in a statement issued Monday night.

Those who are involved include the starting gate workers, who get the horses into their assigned positions just prior to post time. The major sticking points have been over- time and the structure of the tracks' work week. NYRA runs races Wednesday through Sun- day, but the contract cov- ers a Monday-through- Friday week, which means union workers earn built-in overtime on weekends. NYRA is seeking to immediately take away overtime for working Saturdays and Sundays, a move the union says will cut some workers' pay by 30 per- cent. McElroen says the union is willing to agree to some changes but wants them implemented over a period of time to lessen the impact on workers' finances. ''They want what they want and they want it now,'' he said of NYRA. Last month, Gov. Andrew Cuomo took power away from NYRA, creating a tem- porary board to run rac- ing for the next three years. The move came 18 days after NYRA fired its top executive, Charles Hayward, and its chief counsel as the state investigates why $8.5 million in winnings was- n't paid to bettors. A message left at Cuomo's office wasn't immediately returned. I'll Have Another at Belmont Race Track Tuesday MCT photo
