Quote from this linked article:
http://veteranpresence.com/FPOTM/Randle.html"With Kansas City visiting, Randle pulled off a defensive play that I don’t think is calculated into Range Factor. Amos Otis hits a slow roller down the third base line. Since this is Amos Otis we are talking about, he is basically at first base already. Randle charges and decides that his best play is to get down on his hands and knees and blow on the ball until it rolls foul. The umps decided “Yeah... can’t do that” and still award Otis a hit. Randle, idiot that he his, claims that he was just trying to persuade the ball foul and wasn’t really blowing. Rene Lachemann (aww... a Forgotten Coach of the Moment candidate if there ever was one) blames the ball rolling foul on Randle’s bad breath."
for that last remark.
