Spotting a young groupie crawling along the ledge outside his second-floor hotel room, he opened a sliding glass door to let her in, but she slipped, fell into the ocean-breaking her wrist-and had to be fished out by the Coast Guard.

Unable to choose between Denny and another promising young pitcher, Bruce Howard, Chicago Manager Al Lopez decided to let them fight it out in an intrasquad game.
