...solid behind the plate. Larry Bowa (.279) stands above all other major league shortstops in the field, and he teams with Sizemore for an excellent doubleplay combo. In center, Garry Maddox (.291, 74 RBI's) slurps up fly balls like a Hoover vacuum cleaner, and discharges them to the infield just as quickly...
...legs out a good percentage of his hits each year. His speed provides a sure-fire method of breaking a slump: bunting. In fact, he lays down bunts better than anyone since Phil Rizzuto. Once in spring training he challenged a teammate to toss a sweater onto the infield, then rolled a bunt into its enveloping folds. The sweater was moved; he bunted dead center again. More than a dozen times, first on the third-base line, then the first-base side, he put the ball on target...

Foxboro has the best benches around, but Suffolk Downs has a nice grass infield where you can recline among the cigar butts and discarded tickets. Wherever you sit, be sure to bring binoculars. They allow you to catch the fix on the back rail, a key to enjoying an afternoon and evening of losing...

Baloff did just that, but two sloppy fielding plays, events which nobody had seemed to expect or worry about during the other 25 games of the season, were made the in the infield and Cornell clinched victory for itself and disqualification for Harvard with a 4-3 triumph...

Only one starter, Captain Tom Joyce, will be missing next year, and Park finds himself with an overabundance of substitutes there. The all-freshman infield of Bingham, Stenhouse, Burke, St. John and Rick Pierce "should be the best defensive infield I've ever had at Harvard in another year," Park noted. Singleton will continue his leadership in center field and everywhere else. The arms of Stewart, Clifford, Baloff, McOsker Bannish and Larry Brown cannot help...
