Brian Harper

I

think something that Reggie alluded to, which is do they miss Vince Coleman that much? Yes, I think they do because we've talked about Landrum, 391 coming off the bench, second best pinch hitter in the National League, good defensive outfielder.

But again, and it's almost a cliche now, that speed doesn't get into slumps.

Fly ball to right center field.

Similar to the one Dick had to make, but Whitey has more options.

He's got a much deeper bullpen, and Cox gave him the seven innings that he wanted.

So whereas Hauser opted for Liebrand, I tend to feel Herzog with that deep bullpen would opt for a pinch hitter.

Strike three called.

In the absence of Gibson, they made a couple of roster moves.

Gibson disabled, infielder Doug Baker back to the minors, and a couple of guys who played in the World Series last year, Brian Harper, former Cardinal, Pat Sheridan, former Royal, have been called up to the Tiger Ball Club.

On the White Sox side, Greg Walker still out with a broken wrist.

Julio Cruz reactivated.

All right.

A man you can almost look down to, but he's 5'8".

Where's Albie Pearson when you need him? Larry Herndon, Chet Lemon, Brian Harper.

A new acquisition in right field.

wall, Judd.

know with the the helmets on the other side of it i have russian nesting dolls old school of the twins like i think scott leis is one of them i think uh brian harper is one of them kirby puck it's definitely the big one and then i have one of the vikings where it was it's like late 90s era i'm pretty sure it's like it might be 98 cunningham moss carter Next show.

Next Tuesday, I'll bring my Russian nesting dolls in.

The Russian nesting dolls were the next

Chuck Knobloch, three for three with an RBI.

Two hits for Brian Harper.

Two for Ken Herbeck.

Uh, of course that was the start of an

So eight years into your career, not with the Yankees, not with the incredibly loaded 1989 San Diego Padres that included Tony Gwynn, Jack Clark, Benito Santiago, our friend Bip Roberts, not them.

It was the 91 twins, which featured great guys like Kirby Puckett, Kent Herbeck, Chuck Knobloch, Brian Harper.

For those of you who are not into Minnesota twin stuff, Kirby Puckett and Kent Herbeck were known as Herbie and Kirby, or Kirby and Herbie, I'm not sure which.

That's the team that wins the World Series.

strike three called

Jim you mentioned earlier that when a catcher moves off the plate away if the pitcher's been having good control throughout the game he'll get that pitch and that's the reason that Darryl Porter was struck out on that particular pitch that ball was right there and now Whitey Herzog has gone to Brian Harper.

Harper,

the right-handed pinch hitter, came up only 52 times this year and batted 250 with eight runs batted in.

Second best pinch hitter in the National League.

But because of Coleman's absence, you have to send somebody else up there.

Brian Harper was the fellow who came over in that deal with Pittsburgh along with Tudor.

He was the other guy in a deal that sent George Hendrick and a minor leaguer to Pittsburgh.
