A much-needed quick inning.

Yeah, but Tresh would have had it and made a perfect throw to Richardson to double off the runner. Whitey wouldn’t have allowed it to be hit where it was… Hey, I was going to call for you to back me up Inger. As charter members of the Fair Play For Tom Tresh Committee. |

"The boys are marching..." Is that a sly reference to "Sons Of The Desert?" No, though Laurel and Hardy are very underrated in my opinion. Rather, a reference to very popular Civil War song, "Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!" The chorus: "Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching, Cheer up comrades they will come, And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again, Of the free land in our own beloved home." |

Come on offense! Its Kikuchi! Knock him around! Yankees slumping with the bats, so it usually doesn't matter who's pitching. Still, well within striking distance. A walk, a bloop, and a blast - tie game. |

Do you recall a player named Ron Woods? He was traded by the Tigers to the Yankees for Tom Tresh. Two years later, he was traded to the Expos for Ron Swoboda. Ron Woods was the assistant principal of a high school in Hanford, California. I met him when my school's students visited his school. It just so happened that my Yankee buddy Joe had told me about him, so I knew of the trades to and from the Yankees. He could not believe that I knew about him and was a Yankee fan. He was a really nice guy, but I noticed the clock in his office was stuck at 5:00 PM and his calendar on the wall was six months behind. While we were walking across his campus, his students knew my name from coaching them or teaching them and I knew their names. At one point he said, "You know my kids better than I do." And, unfortunately, he was correct. All in all, though, a good-hearted man. Great story Rizz. And I certainly do remember Ron Woods. He made one of the greatest catches I ever saw, diving into the rightfield stands ar Yankee Stadium to rob someone whose name I don't recall of a home run. Glad to know he's a good guy. And Tresh -- who made a great World Series catch in left in 1964 to rob I think McCarver-- was destined for stardom until the injuries piled up. He was a tremendous athlete who died far too early. “The Catch” was vs. Yaz. Here is an editorial some one sent The NY Times afterward… To THE EDITOR: Although the rule book seems to confirm in a backhand way the out call on the catch Ron Woods of the Yankees made off Carl Yastrzemski of Boston June 20 by saying that when a fielder falls into stands or dugout after a catch time shall be called, it is a ruling that appears to leave the play in a sort of baseball twilight zone. When an umpire makes his call 30 seconds or more after the play and then only after running out to a spot that had been obscured from view, he is taking a great deal on faith. Presumably he went out to see if Woods had held the ball which is exactly what he could’ not see. He could see that Woods had, the ball when he arrived, but’ had he held it? Who knows? For in the time between Woods's, fall and the arrival of the umpire, Woods could have lost, the ball and picked it up again or fans near by could have returned it to his glove. I am not saying Woods dropped the ball. I am not saying he held it, either, because it would be impossible, for anybody to decide unless he was right in that section of the stands… |

All this talk of Texas Roadhouse, so I decided to go there for dinner today! Not bad steak (ribeye medium) but the stars of the show are the bread and thick cut steak fries.  |

Okay, because that same line is used in the L&H song in SOTD. Now I know where they got it from. Love Stan and Ollie. Definitely in my top handful of screen comics. Last year we passed through Harlem GA, the birthplace of Oliver Hardy, and visited a museum dedicated to the boys. His rotund face is painted on the watertower as you come into town. |

I vividly remember the catch, but forgot the details. Pre-replay for sure. |

Now we just need 3 runs. Two walks two errors and we might do it
