European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - June 01, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 18 the stars and stripes tigers throttle Angels 7-3 Leonhard o s Blank Chison if Only the players were aware of How close they might be to scribbling their names in the record Book methinks baseball strategies would undoubtedly be More flexible. Just have yourself a look see at some of the feats that Merit publication in the Little rebook of baseball which boasts on the front cover of endorsement by both major leagues. Consider for instance what san Francisco Catcher Dick Dietz if he were properly familiar with Page 64 of the 1968 rebook might have to say in a late in the game Mound conference with Jua Marichal and infielders Willie Mccovey Ron Hunt Jimmy Daven port and Hal Lanier. I take you now to candlestick Park for just such a conference Dietz fellas i Don t want to put the of Jinx on us but we Retro outs away from tying a major league record. Two Lousy outs away. Marichal Gracias Dick. No Jinx. I strike Heem both out. Dietz no no Juan baby. I Don t mean a strikeout record re nowhere s near that. But Tell me fellas any of you re member throwing anybody out since this game started Mccovey Hunt Davenport and Lanier All scratch their head pensively mumbling that they can t remember for sure Dietz no you Haven t. We be had eighteen flouts two pop outs three strikeouts and two unassisted putouts. Do you have any idea where that leaves us Mccovey to himself barely audible lemme see three time nine s Twenty seven. Eighteen and two s Twenty and three s Twenty three and two s Twenty five. Now loudly yeah two More outs and the game s Over Dietz now listen to me Willie Ron All of you. The major league record the major league record i say for fewest assists by an infield not counting the Battery for one club in single game is Zero. Only 11 other infield have Ever done it. Lanier record fewest assists by an infield not counting the Battery Gimme a drag off that before you put it out willya Dietz i m telling you there have been 11 infield that eve lasted a game without anybody making an assist. It s in the red Book under club Fielding last team to do it was Phila Delphia of the National league against Chicago on May 2, 1957. Davenport i get it. That leaves us two non assisted cutaway from the record Book. Somebody s got to get these last two Guys without any help from anybody and then Well go Clown i history As the 12th infield to go through a whole game without an assist. Dietz exactly. Now Here s what i got in mind. All you Guy move to the first base Side of the infield then you should be Able to outrun the Batter with anything he hits your Way to make the play unassisted like. Anything hit to the left Side there s nobody there it goes through nobody it s a hit no assist possible nobody Hurt. Unless it s a pop up of course. One of you could get to that. Lanier you understand Dick Don t you that we should May be worry first of All about getting the last two Guys out at All else maybe we Don t win. We have the of Bacon to bring Homeboy. The fans deserve the Victory first. Too Many Guys go hitting to the left Side while we re All gathered around first base Layin on unassisted material we re Gonna be Hurtin for sure. Dietz Here we Are on the verge of making the record boo Sand you re sweating a hit or two. In the rebook of baseball Hal there Are recorded 165 no hitters 67 players with 200 or More Home runs a zillion people chosen for the All Star game and a paltry 11 infield that have Ever played a game unassisted. No think about that Hal just you think about that a minute. Davenport he s right Hal. One of these Guys grounds Ous Hort to first this game s Gonna be forgotten the Day after to Morrow. But if we get pm both unassisted Well be in the Bookfor Good. Dietz it just in t every Day you get a Chance like this Here Totie a major league record Hal. You May never get another Chance Opportunity knocks. Lanier i guess you re right. This is All so sudden i Haven been thinking about it the whole game like you have Dick. I Hac no idea we might be setting any records or anything. Mccovey me neither. Sure is a Good thing we had you in there Dick thinking All the time like you do. I never would realize something like this was happening. Davenport imagine that. After All these years of baseball Only 11 infield besides us right Here have done this. That s a pretty elite group really just eleven. Less than one for every Clay of two weeks. And we re going to be the 12th. D1ktz if Only we had us a left handed shortstop. Ain t no infield Ever i betcha gone a whole game with no assists that Hue a left handed shortstop. Lanier now just a minute Richard. I happen to be the shortstop Here and i happen to be right handed. That s just the was it is. And if we should happen to get the next two players Wil Houan assist and we become the 12th team to achieve such info Csc perfection that la be Fine. But 1 won t want to hear you moaning for the rest of the year about How Nice it would have been if we c Only had us a left handed shortstop. So let s just shut up Abo left handed shortstops. I m the shortstop and i m right Hundred am that s that. Davenport All right now let s Cut out the arguing. This Ino time for arguing. We got a right handed shortstop Dick. Lei talk this Over sensibly. Dietz o.k., then it s agreed. You Guys All know you Don t throwing the Ball when you get it huh you understand Willie Hal everybody got it Jimmy Juan Marichal 1 strike Heem both out.
