Mel ProctorHOST
fastball in for a strike and it's one and two there were 47 players selected ahead of cal ripken in that draft and of those only 22 of them ever made the big leagues and cal turned out to be the best of the bunch hudler fouls a high fastball back jim salmon had a home run on the first inning to give the angels the lead And then Raphael Palmeiro connected with two outs in the first to tie it.
Mel ProctorHOST
Rex Hubler was with the Orioles at the time they had Alan Wiggins as their second baseman, so he's got to play very little that year.
Mel ProctorHOST
The Orioles have made a big investment in Wiggins.
Mel ProctorHOST
Unfortunately, it didn't turn out.
Vin ScullyHOST
The first feeling you have when you look at it is Dick Williams has decided to stay with the girl he took to the dance.
Vin ScullyHOST
There have been a lot of conversation about maybe with a slumping left fielder, Carmelo Martinez, and a slumping Bobby Brown in center, maybe he would switch and put Tim Flannery at second base and move Alan Wiggins to left field.
Vin ScullyHOST
But Dick Williams has decided, I stay with the crew that got me here, and there they are.
Vin ScullyHOST
Martinez in left, then you have Gary Tablin hitting eighth at shortstop, and Bobby Brown in center field.
Vin ScullyHOST
I would think.
Vin ScullyHOST
Well, he's going to be throwing it.
Vin ScullyHOST
Alan Wiggins, Tony Gwynn, and Steve Garvey in that order.
Vin ScullyHOST
When Wiggins was hitting and Darrell Evans was the third baseman, Evans, you remember, stayed almost on the edge of the grass.
Len BermanCORRESPONDENT
Joining me now, the Major League's leading hitter, Tony Gwynn.
Len BermanCORRESPONDENT
And Tony, they showed you and Alan Wiggins inordinate respect last night.
Len BermanCORRESPONDENT
Marty Castillo playing in when Wiggins was batting, the two consecutive pitch outs to you.
Len BermanCORRESPONDENT
Do you feel extra pressure on both you and Alan because of the fact the bottom of your batting order hit just 1 for 15 last night?
