I can't remember why, but then I was pretty young at the time so I guess it didn't need to make sense.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18260435523710140797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-23438218131111328492010-10-23T17:57:21.340-04:002010-10-23T17:57:21.340-04:00Great work, guys!

This is probably the most research that has ever involved Chito Martinez. :)Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334533396646438555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-1321663228012985422010-10-22T12:59:00.152-04:002010-10-22T12:59:00.152-04:00I also think this was the July 28 game - but I thi...I also think this was the July 28 game - but I think it was the 1st inning. With Milligan on second, McGwire was not holding the runner on. So when the count reached 3-1, the runners went with the pitch, and Gomez' ground ball to short required the SS to go to first for the out instead of the easy toss to second.<br /><br />Of course that is all just a wild guess.Rounding Thirty 3rdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826702686157258946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-67922195675789119052010-10-21T22:25:45.763-04:002010-10-21T22:25:45.763-04:00How about the bottom of the fifth in the July 28 g...How about the bottom of the fifth in the July 28 game. Martinez walked, then was doubled off first after a line-drive to third. If he was running on the pitch, he wouldn't have been able to get back.<br /><br />By the way, hoped you checked out my write-up on Chito from last month. Always cool to see players from my CMC set on other cards.Steve78https://www.blogger.com/profile/17050917320475941411noreply@blogger.com
