Emergency Back-Up Catcher...

It's the second game of the Semi-Final playoffs and my 103 win team is already down 1 game to the always-dangerous wild card team. I need a win badly. The game goes into extra innings and HAL has already pinch hit for both my catchers. So who comes in behind the dish for the 10th. 11th, and 12th innings as our emergency back-up catcher...Pedro Guerrero!!

And don't even think of stealing on this guy. Both Dave Collins and Rickey Henderson both tried to run on him and they both got nailed!! No passed balls, no errors, and 2 throw outs at 2nd base to help us hang in there to squeeze out a win!!

Man...I love Strat. :D

In the 70s game Hal once used Scott Rodney as my catcher in the 9th and extra innings. Gunned out a base stealer and scored the winning run....fun times!

That Pedro Guerrero--aways a dangerous gloveman, and never more than when behind the plate!

A duel between Pedro and Rickey--no contest, of course! :D

Great story, Jimmy!

BTW, just saw who the opposing manager was.

Hak must have been Hacked! :)

Yeah...Hak sent me a note today. He's pretty sure Collins and Rickey both walked to 2nd base to give Pedro a sporting chance at throwing them out.

I Can't wait to see what happens in tonights games...
