> If Rusty Staub pinch-hits...and the Mets bat around, does he bat again?
Yes, most certainly. This does happen fairly often. (Of course, in last
night's game, Rusty played Right Field (though Left Field sometimes), and
made a great catch!)
Incidentally, I had never heard of left and right fielders switching in
the middle of an inning. Anyone got any good stories, before the Mets/
Pirates 18 inning game with Staub and Hurdle?

There are two kinds of people in the world, those who divide people into two
kinds, and those who don't.wetcw@pyuxa.UUCP (T C Wheeler) (04/30/85)
Johnson was trying to hide Rusty in the outfield by switching him back and forth. Of course, the pirates caught on and whapped one out toward Rusty, but he got to it just fine (though a little winded I would guess). How soon will Yogi be back with the Mets? T. C. Wheeler
