And he warned us about trying to keep Pete Rose out of the Lin upon the Road when he was closing in on 3,000 pitching Bouton today the braves skipped Over Larry me Williams and he s 7-1. It was a deliberate attempt to beef up attendance. I still think we have a Chanceton win it and so do the giants. It s not fair to us.
