Wilson Strike Affects Series, Sox Lose 3 of 4

Oakland, CA -- When the manufacturers of baseball gloves went on strike last
week, it wasn't expected to affect any major league games. But from the
press box in Oakland, it was clear that the strike came at an inopportune
time for the Pale Hose. According to a source within the organization, a
new shipment of gloves was supposed to arrive in Oakland prior to Thursday's
opener, but it never got there.

As a result, the Sox and Athletics played old-fashioned baseball, what
many a grandfather called "the good old days". We don't know what our
grandfathers meant, but we're fairly sure they didn't mean to go back to the
days when fielders left their gloves on the field for the other team.

In truth, this reporter doesn't know precisely what happened in Oakland,
but it was clear that only one team was allowed to field the ball well in
any given game.

The Sox dropped game 1 to Chuck Dobson, 5-2. Joel Horlen pitched well,
but took the loss, after the A's went ahead to stay in the 5th, when a Dick
Green dribbler brought Mike Hershberger home from third; Pete Ward's throw
wasn't in time.

Game 2 was when the glove shortage really started to show. The final
score read Sox 3, A's 2, with Chris Short besting Catfish Hunter. But the
real score was A's 5, Sox 2. Errors, that is, including an unfathomable 3
errors by usually sure-handed A's shortstop Bert Campaneris. After the
game, he suggested that Luis Aparicio had soiled his glove with some unknown
substance. One wag suggested it must have been flubber.

In game 3, Oakland hurler Jim Nash took the accusations personally, firing
a three-hitter to lead the A's to a 5-0 win over the Sox. Again, the glove
issue arose, when the A's first run scored on Ken Berry's throwing error.
Campaneris may have gotten even with his Chicago counterpart, as Aparicio's
error allowed another run to score.

Game 4 was a nip and tuck affair, with the A's winning it 7-6 in the
bottom of the eighth against Sox closer Wilbur Wood, when Hershberger scored
on a Rick Monday double, and Danny Cater's single brought home Monday. The
Sox tried to mount a rally in the ninth, even putting the go-ahead run on
base in the ninth on, what else, a Sal Bando error. But, Diego Segui closed
the door on the Sox, and clinched the series for Oakland. After the outing,
Sox manager Ben Lea was heard suggesting that perhaps Wood might get a start
soon, in hopes that more work might work through his control issues.

Game files to follow tomorrow.

Y'all's,
Ben
