No, but I left for an inning once
and the A’s rallied. Then I left again, this time for the rest of the game, and they won.

I agree - I was just going to say, I expect Wuertz will start the 7th,
but I’d let Outman start it and go batter to batter with him.

he was never rookie of the year
But he did hit the base of the light tower in right at the old Detroit yard. Surely the most amazing home run I’ve ever seen on TV.
