    I think every lineup is different game to game. He’ll move players from the top of the lineup to the bottom. I don’t think that helps a player’s confidence when they are shuffled around the lineup. I know Bonds has been injured, not sure if anyone else is. Looks like Wells missed a few games...

    OT: R. I. P. - Elroy Face, age 97

    He got that nickname because he was a horrible defensive first baseman.

    OT: Bill Mazeroski dead

    You’re right about it being a ground ball to Nelson. I was a Pirate fan then. Was a Yankee fan but after they won 5 series in a row (49-53), I decided to root for the worst team in baseball which was the Pirates at that time.

    OT: Bill Mazeroski dead

    Bill Virden hit that ground ball to Kubek. Mantle diving back to first base on a liner avoided a double play.

    OT: Bill Mazeroski dead

    Maz’s walkoff homer in 7th game of the World Series is baseball history that has yet to be duplicated.

    OT: RIP Elroy Face

    Correct. I also listened to the game. Became a Pirate fan after the Yankees won 5 World Series in a row (1949-1953). Decided to root for the worst team in baseball which was the Pirates at the time. Could only get the games at night on my AM radio. Bob Prince was the first announcer who was...

    Cignetti’s formula won’t last

    I believe that he not only did not win in that season but came in third.

    Cignetti’s formula won’t last

    I’m not sure if it was Schiano or Flood, Rutgers was a Big East co champ with 4 teams in an 8 team league.

    Would you prefer to be in the ACC?

    I believe the shared Big East title was with 3 or 4 teams.

    OT: Thinking outside the baseball rule change box

    It’s done because managers want to win games and their job depends on that. It’s up to the next batters to take advantage of it.
