STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Rod Woodson Jersey . -- As night fell over Happy Valley on Friday, hundreds of Joe Paternos former players gathered outside the schools baseball stadium to celebrate their accomplishments and the coach who inspired them before he left a polarizing legacy.About 50 yards from where a statue of Paterno was removed by the university after the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal, and Paternos possible role in it, rocked the small Central Pennsylvania town in 2011, former players hugged, laughed and told stories about Paterno as they filed into the private ceremony.Jimmy Cefalo, who played for Paterno from 1974-77 before embarking on a broadcasting career, called the late coach the most influential man in my life other than my father.He said his opinion of Paterno, who coached at Penn State for 46 years, remains unchanged.Joe will always be someone who took me out of a very small town and gave me a wonderful opportunity, Cefalo said. I dont know how many people would say he was my mentor and someone who gave me a great deal of my life and then change your opinion about him. It doesnt happen very often and it shouldnt happen to any of us.Its a sentiment shared by many of the men gathered there but not by a large group who view Paterno as a villain in the Sandusky scandal. For them, Paterno didnt do enough to stop Sandusky, an assistant on Paternos staff for three decades and believe honoring Paterno in any way is is insensitive to Sanduskys victims and the severity of the scandal.Paterno said hed wished he had done more before he died from lung cancer in 2012,Robert Hoatson was the only protestor who showed up. He said he drove in from New Jersey, identified himself as a victim of sexual abuse with no ties to Penn State and said he was outraged the university would honor Paternos head coaching debut. Penn State plans to do that during Saturdays game against Temple.Hoatson stood across the street from the stadiums entrance with two large signs -- one reading You already forgot the other sexual abuse of little boys and girls is soul murder. He gave several interviews to multiple reporters, said he hoped others would join him in protest and only smiled as a young heckler paced back and forth with him, questioning his motive. There were no other confrontations, however.Im just outraged that Penn State, even in the midst of so much still going on with the trials coming up of administrators, with the recent information that Joe Paterno did know in the 70s at the latest that kids were being sexually abused by Jerry Sandusky, said Hoatson, who founded and operates a sexual abuse support network called Road 2 Recovery. Its just outrageous that they have a celebration of Joe Paterno. Its as if these poor little kids who were sexually abuse here dont matter.Hoatson was referring to court documents unsealed in May that said an alleged Sandusky victim complained to Paterno about Sandusky in 1976 and was rebuffed. The universitys president, Eric Barron, has said the allegation was not substantiated in court or tested by any other process. Paterno was never charged with a crime related to the scandal.Sandusky was convicted on 45 of 48 charges in June 2012 and is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence.Former Penn State standout and Pittsburgh Steelers star Franco Harris has long been a supporter of Paterno and has insisted college footballs winningest coach did nothing wrong.Earlier this year, Harris encouraged fans to leave a brick near the small tree where the Paterno statue once stood. One blue brick with 409 -- the number of Paternos wins and his initials, JVP, stood at the foot of the tree on Friday night. Harris hoped it would send a message to Penn State administrators to make amends with the Paternos.Penn State will commemorate the 50th anniversary of Paternos coaching debut in addition to his commitment to student-athletes and academics during the Temple game on Saturday. Harris said hes happy with Penn States first step to do right by the Paterno family with the gesture.Its a good first step and one that is good and I know they received a lot of heat for it but so what, Harris said. Thats part of it. We know the truth so people can think whatever they want. We feel very comfortable where were at and we want Penn State to start to feel comfortable where theyre at. And so we hope that this grows and grows.Harris said hed like to hear a formal apology from the universitys board of trustees who fired Paterno over the phone in 2011.I think they handled it wrong and I think they got bad advice from the lawyers and the lawyers got it wrong and they handled it wrong, Harris said. And it caused a lot of damage to Penn State football and to a lot of individuals and that blame shouldve never been focused on Penn State football and a lot of these individuals.Members of the Paterno family would not comment during the event that was closed to reporters.

According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time. WASHINGTON -- When third-base coach Bob Henley sent Jayson Werth home on a double down the left-field line, the Nationals seemed to be in control. Max Scherzer was dealing some of the finest stuff in the biggest start of his career, and Washington was nine outs from winning an NL Division Series.Werth was out by 30 feet at the plate , Scherzer lost the lead on his next pitch and the decisive Game 5 unraveled as the Nationals lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 Thursday night, their third first-round exit in the past five years.Henley was heartbroken at his ill-advised decision, which cost the Nationals at least the chance at more runs in a game that came down to one.You live and die by those moments sometimes, Werth said. If (shortstop Corey) Seager doesnt make a good throw, the ball kicks away or something like that, I score. That was tough. It was a tough play.Players who have worn a shirt with Henleys picture and the phrase Send em short, send em tall, send em one, send em all were reluctant to pin the loss on a third-base coach when they went 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11. They credited Dodgers manager Dave Roberts for going to closer Kenley Jansen in the seventh for the longest outing of his major league career and for turning to ace Clayton Kershaw for a two-out save in the ninth , Kershaws first since the Gulf Coast League in 2009.But the game turned on left fielder Andrew Toles getting the ball to Seager, and the rookie making the throw home to catcher Yasmani Grandal. The air was sucked out of the sellout crowd of 43,936 that had made Nationals Park lively and loud for most of the evening.I think after the fact, hindsight, do I wish I could have it back? Well, yeah, sure, Henley said. Thats just human nature. But Ive tried to be aggressive all year. Its our style of play. Does it hurt? Sure, it hurts. Anytime it doesnt work out and you feel like it might have cost us, of course I think it hurts.Scherzer gave up a home run to Joc Pederson on his first pitch in the seventh and his 99th and last of the game. From that point manager Dusty Baker called on five relievers -- Mark Rzepczynski, Blake Treinen, Sammy Solis, Shawn Kellley and Oliver Perez -- to get three outs. Tai Streets Jersey. They eventually did so, but not before Carlos Ruiz drove in a run with a pinch-hit single off Solis and Justin Turner got two more home with a triple off Kelley, who suffered a severe injury on his subsequent pitch. Four runs by the Dodgers was too deep a hole for the Nationals to climb out of, even with a two-run, pinch-hit home run by Chris Heisey in the bottom of that seventh inning, a 66-minute extravaganza.You knew something one in a million was going to happen tonight, Scherzer said. That was it. We werent able to overcome that seventh inning.As Werth described it, the wheels came off for a Nationals team that won 95 games and the NL East but is left to wonder how to come back from another gut punch of a playoff loss. In the aftermath of Game 5, the only consolation was that the Dodgers pulled out all the stops to win.Its the craziest game Ive ever been a part of, Scherzer said. We just didnt get it done. No ones a goat. No one made a crucial misplay. Everybody stepped up and did their game. We just didnt get that extra run.That extra run could have come in the sixth had Werth not been thrown out at the plate, making Henley as much of the goat as Rzepcyznski, who got the loss, or any of the other relievers who struggled in the seventh. Baker said Henleys decision wasnt what lost the game, and blamed the inability to get runners home.Baker had his bags packed for Chicago and will now go home as the Dodgers face the Cubs in the NL Championship Series.Im not ready for the season to end, Baker said. Right now, everybodys kind of numb. Everybodys probably thinking about what we all could have done to change the outcome of the game.Note: Kelley lost feeling in his fingers on his first pitch to Adrian Gonzalez in the seventh and immediately knew something was wrong. Baker said he was concerned about Kellys long-term health because of his history of Tommy John Surgeries.---This story has been corrected to show the first name of the Nationals pitcher is Marc, not Mark Rzepcyznski.
