That was for Gene Morgan.

Nope, it needs to be for it all. If that damn ball hadn't hit him on the foot we would already have at least one natty.

So, how perfect is it that their pitcher plunking our batter on the foot is what ultimately beat them? Karma is a *****!!!

For those really not young enough... Everyone has heard of Brantley, Thigpen, Palmerio, and Clark. Morgan was every bit as good as they were. The reason you never heard of him is he blew is arm out in the minor leagues, AA ball I think. The dude could deal. That team was absolutely stacked. There were other really good college players, Gator Theison, Dan Van Cleave, Bruce Benidict, Harold Myles. That team was going to win it all, till that one bad break. That is baseball in short series.

Bruce Benedict? Nah fam. You’re thinking about the mid 80s Braves.

Roark McDonald was the catcher on that team.

Didn’t “Eggs” end up being a college umpire for a while?
