Real good ballplayer. Several years with the Pirates, including 1960 when they beat the Yanks. Very good lefty stick.
RIP Dog, as Bob Prince called him.
RU lost to UConn 5-4. We had 15 hits, once again demonstrating that Owens plays station to station baseball. No aggressive baserunning or ability to manufacture a run. Sad.
Because Owens plays it by the book & does not know how to manufacture a run--not at all aggressive on the base paths, a lot of station to station baseball--I said a long time ago that it was a receipie for a .500 season.
