1977 IAL Hitting and Pitching Leaders |
|
“In another game against the Cards, the Champs were up 4-0 in the 1st inning of a ballgame, two outs, bottom of the first, runners on 2nd & 3rd, with the pitchers ondeck, the 8th place hitter was walked to get to the pitcher, Don Groove Baylor came off the bench & hit a grand slam!”
If this is exactly true, the Champions batted out of order. DonS.
