Against the Orioles, Mickey beat out an infield hit, moved to second when Tom Tresh walked and then set sail, aching legs and all, for third. He slid under the tag with a stolen base; Tresh, playing follow the leader, dashed to second. When Joe Pepitone singled, both runners scored -and the Yankees beat the Orioles...
