You never know what you\u2019ll see at the ballpark \u2013 and that was never more true for BBRT than at Metropolitan Stadium on April 25, 1970.\u00a0 Try to imagine one play that produces a strikeout, a three-base error, an assist and putout for an outfielder and an assist for the shortstop – and takes place with only four players on the field and the ball never leaving the infield. \u00a0Let me share the story.<\/p>\n
My dad and I were among the just over 11, 000 fans who turned out to watch the Minnesota Twins \u2013 off to an 8-4 start and scoring runs in bunches. \u00a0The Twins line-up featured power hitters like Harmon Killebrew and Tony Oliva, as well as the steady bats of Cesar Tovar, Leo Cardenas and Rich Reese.<\/p>\n
