What worked for the Baltimore women, though, was no help to the Cincinnati wives. They knew that nothing is worse than a losing outfit. Mrs. Jim McGlothlin polished her fingernails just before going to the ballpark, then proceeded to peel off the polish as an antidote to nail biting. It is a ploy that Merle Hendricks, wife of Oriole Catcher Elrod, could have used: she gnawed her nails throughout the Series. Oriole Pitcher Dave McNally got one kiss goodbye and one kiss for good luck on the day he pitched. Should McNally have felt more amorous, it would have been...
Wide Open Spaces. Students of the game will recall that long-ball hitters are something of a tradition in Cincinnati. The trouble has always been pitching-except for this year. A couple of trades brought in two American League veterans: Jim Merritt from the Minnesota Twins and Jim McGlothlin from the California Angels. Together they have won 28 games. A pair of home-grown youngsters, Gary Nolan, 22, and Wayne Simpson, 21, have added another 29 victories...
...McGlothlin (10-5) are salivary too, but John Wyatt, No. 1 relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, coats the ball with Vaseline. "Wyatt," says Joe Pepitone of the New York Yankees, "carries so much Vaseline on him that if he slid into second base he'd keep right on going to the leftfield fence."

...Francisco General Hospital reports "some cases" of malformation among babies of LSD-using mothers, but Chief Obstetrician R. Elgin Orcutt feels that he lacks enough data to show a cause-and-effect relationship. U.C.L.A.'s Dr. William McGlothlin agrees. "I know of some miscarriages among LSD users," he says, "but I don't know if the rate is higher than among other people." Dr. McGlothlin, who works with hippies, has a federal grant to help him get more data...
...McGlothlin's latest turnabout began last year when he was farmed back down to Seattle, where he caught the eye of Bob Lemon, onetime star pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. Jim went to Seattle with an overhand fastball, a nickel curve, and simplistic notions about strategy: if the bases were loaded and the count was 3 and 2, he threw the next pitch low and away. At least nobody ever hit him in a spot like that. Lemon taught him how to throw a sidearm fastball, a slider and a change of pace, and he also taught McGlothlin something...
