Belliard was on first and the announcer compared him to something that fell out of the 1B's pocket. It was either that cheat Hrbek or John Kruk.

I've never seen a glove as good as Allen's. Back in the day, Luis Aparicio had a good glove.

out in a pivotal game of the 1991 World Series. Is that the reason for the "cheat" reference? Can't remember the Braves player.

More trivia. Most of those great Braves players of the early ‘90’s got their start with the Sumter Braves A affiliate in the ‘80’s. When Ron Gant ran into a major slump later in his career & the team wanted to send him to AAA to regain the magic, he asked to go back to Sumter.

Prolly not. No one could hit (nor many catch) Phil’s knuckler. But when he got behind in the count, he had to come in with that batting practice fastball of his. He lost a lot of 1-0 & 2-1 games that way.
