That allowed Hagin to play the "truism" card essentially telling the audience to watch Alou's replacement factor in the winning play, doesn't that always seem to happen, and that baseball is funny that way. Yeah, like the player making the defensive gem to end one frame will end up leading off the next, and so many other truisms that always seem to be played up by announcers.

Alou thrown out, not really for arguing, but probably muttered a flagged word as he stormed back to the dugout.

Still scoreless through 4 Going to the NYTimes Archives and a Leonard Koppett article on the BBWAA Baseball Centennial Award event 7/20/1969: Ruth and John McGraw voted greatest player & mgr DiMaggio and Stengel got the living versions Gehrig, Hornsby, Pie Traynor, Wagner in the infield Cobb joins Ruth and DiMaggio in the outfield Mickey Cochrane behind the plate Big Train and Lefty Grove as your top pitchers George Sisler and Musial tied for 1B for the living category Gehringer and Cronin at 2nd and SS, and Traynor was living at the time. DiMaggio was joined by Ted Williams and Willie Mays (only active player) in the outfield, Bill Dickey behind the plate, and Bob Feller along with a still living Grove. Musial, Mays and Feller are the only ones still living nearly 40 years later now. Mays was actually the only active player in the running for the greatest team lineup according to this article!

Howie is wrong on the "unofficial" title that DiMaggio held. He was voted that "award" in 1969 (my guess you could only vote for retired players) during MLB's centennial celebration. He then took it too his grave because he HAD to be introduced for the rest of his life as "The greatest living player" despite whatever Mays, Aaron, etc did during the rest of his lifetime. So it really was an "official" title.

Vargas is Traschel like apparantly, according to Hagin. Walked the leadoff man in the third. This can't be good. But Reyes gets a nice grab of Delgado's throw to erase Flores! Lopez is 5 for 9 with a few homers against Vargas BTW, Hagin says that it is good that the lead runner was erased. However a wild pitch AFTER he says it moves Redding to 2nd! AND Lopez walks. Hagin suggests that Vargas wanted to walk him because of Lopez's numbers. Alou gets a decent grab of a Guzman fly. Zimmerman up with 2 on, 2 outs. Zim bounces to a FC, Reyes to Easley.

Looks like I'm all alone here tonight. Heh, maybe I should log on as mlbaseballtalk and have a conversation with myself... Yeah, that would be idiotic! End of two, no score. Redding pitching a perfect game.
-
Good one-two-three second frame to add to stranding the leadoff hitter in the first.

Not to give Kase any more annumition, but Armando never challanged Seaver's 69, or was rivaled by Gooden's 85 as dominat seasons in a New York uniform the way Guidry's 78 did.

Who was the NY Post hack who always ragged on Bobby Valentine, despite winning an NL pennant, for never winning a division in his major league managerial career? That fact must irk that guy as well.

Aaron Bleeping Boone! I wonder if Sox fans still refer to him as that though? In any event, lets get this one over Wags!
