...relief pitcher touts a comic strip featuring a zany resembling himself. The first baseman is renowned for raising hell and racing thoroughbreds. The second and third basemen are hosts of a radio show. Other players dabble in transcendental meditation.

Other pitchers include Rogelio Moret, tall, skinny, last and independable; and Rick Wise, a fastball pitcher with a good strikeout record and a heart-breaking no-hitter until two outs in the ninth when big, very big George Scott, the former Red Sox first baseman who was traded despite his great value, stepped up to the plate, leered above his animal-tooth lovebeads and slammed a home run.

Doug Griffin, the regular second baseman, gets injured constantly, but is a fine infielder as well. At third base, well, the less said about Rico Petrocelli the better, although some think differently. Everyone has their...
