One of my most vivid memories ever. Bob was slightly out of position, playing his occasional third base when not behind the dish. Actually, Bob committed five errors that inning (a soft liner right to him kicked off his glove into left field), but a botched scoring decision by a bleeding heart scorekeeper left him with four official. Four unearned runs scored as a direct result. He even made two errors on one play.<br /><br />But his redemption came in three plate appearrances. His next at bat, the fans booed lustily. He hit a home run, and the fans cheered temporarily until he entered his home run trot, then with three runs he still owed, the boos erupted again as he circled the bases. Then to boos again his next at bat he hit an RBI double, which resulted in more booing. In the bottom of the ninth, the crowd exploded in boos as Bob approached the plate, demanding full payment for his sins. He hit a walk-off homer and the fans went ballistic.<br /><br />Manager Roger Craig said Brenly should get the comeback player of the year award for that game alone. What an amazing day at the ballpark.<br /><br />Now for a shameless plug: I recently started a 1974 Topps blog:<br />http://1974topps.blogspot.comSteve Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10297044571819912511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916244525704951667.post-90058141786419060292010-08-29T10:09:50.164-04:002010-08-29T10:09:50.164-04:00Very interesting!

My luck, he will get your email and talk about it during a road game. I'm partial to Pat & Ron (WGN/XM) anyway.hpwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689680478009641274noreply@blogger.com
