School me, TT
The Pirates lineup doesn’t look that intimidating to me, what am I missing? Al Oliver, Stargell, Parker and a bunch of guys I don’t know much about.
"just a couple of weeks ago a first year student in my program told me i was charming and charismatic, it was a guy, but the point still stands.: -- justin007000
Zisk and Hebner were solid hitters
And Handy Manny behind the plate was a blast to watch. The dude swung at everything. Didn’t matter if it was three inches off the ground or a foot over his head. And he hit a lot.
