If the Mets (e.g.) bring Rusty Staub in to bat for Bruce Berenyi in the bottom of the seventh, and then bat around, will Staub bat again? If he does, then no pitcher will have been in the lineup during the Mets' at- bat in the seventh. This will have the effect of allowing the Mets to use a DH in the inning.

Furthermore, I don't think Kranepool could catch Staub, and Stationary objects don't move MUCH faster than Staub. -: -- Ron Samuels Harvard University Science Center ...harvard!h-sc1!samuels (or better yet) ...harvard!h-sc4!samuels_b
