Rob Wilfong

So we go to the bottom of the ninth inning.

Bob Boone, Gary Pettis, and Rob Wilfong.

Now Michaels, Jim Palmer with you from Anaheim.

Boston on top, 6-5.

We mentioned Rodney with 22 hits to go for 3,000 hits.

Rob Wilfong will be the second baseman.

Dick Schofield, whose father played for some 17, 18 years with the Cardinals and the Pirates.

Dick Schofield at shortstop.

Charlie Moore, the regular catcher.

That's it hard.

Rob Wilfong on the big hop.

He goes on to Carew.

Pettis.

Now Rob Wilfong will bat for Burleson.

Wilfong, who had platooned all season with Richard Second, who will join around with Richard playing first today.

Wilfong bats with a right-hand hitting second baseman, Burleson, with the righty on the mound right now.

Devon White stays in the game for California.

He is the new right fielder.

And Rob Wilfong stays in the game at second base.

As we head to the top of the eighth inning and the Red Sox go to their bench, Gene Mock has his club six outs away from the American League title and a berth in the World Series commencing Saturday.

Batting fifth at third base was Doug DeCemzes.

Batting sixth at second base was Rob Wilfong.

Batting seventh at shortstop was Dick Schofield.

Batting eighth and catching was Bob Boone, the father of current Yankee manager Aaron Boone.

Then in the sixth, with Doug DeCenzis on at second, Bobby Grich hit a two-run home run, which deflected off the glove of Dave Henderson, putting the Angels in the lead by a score of 3-2.

And they were not done.

Hurst was removed in favor of Bob Stanley, and the Angels tacked on two more runs against him in the seventh, thanks to an RBI double by Rob Wilfong and a sacrifice fly by Brian Downing.

The Angels led by a score of 5-2 and headed to the top of the ninth, three outs from winning their first American League pennant.

Pettis.

Now Rob Wilfong will bat for Burleson.

Wilfong, who had platooned all season with Richard II, will join around Rich playing first today.

Wilfong bats to the right-hand hitting second baseman Burleson with the righty on the mound right now.

Devon White stays in the game for California.

He is the new right fielder.

And Rob Wilfong stays in the game at second base.

As we head to the top of the eighth inning and the Red Sox go to their bench, Gene Mock has his club six outs away from the American League title and a berth in the World Series commencing Saturday.

Now Doug DeCinces, who really carried this club in August, his numbers on the year reflecting his potency, especially the RBIs.

And I think a man who's a very key man in this series because behind him you have Wilfong, Schofield, Boone, and Pettis.

[bat hits ball] Outside on the count one and oh.

So the Angels really, when you look at that lineup, are top-heavy, much as the Royals were last year.

That's continue hitting 300, driving in 100 runs, and hitting 30 home runs a year.

And of course, I think if I can do that, uh, the rest of my life or the rest of my career, I should be fortunate enough to go in the Hall of Fame.

Second base, Wilfong.

And his number is getting up in that range right now.

Lyman Bostock, the center fielder, bats eighth.

And Rob Wilfong will be the second baseman batting ninth.

Pitching for the Yankees, the left-hander Ron Guidry, and for the Twins, another left-hander, Jeff Zahn.

And Bill White, looks like the Yankees have faced the three top hitting clubs in their last three series, the White Sox, the Red Sox, and now the Twins.

He throws it to Chambliss, and there's one away.

Bostock bouncing out six to three.

That'll bring on Rob Wilfong, the second baseman.

The second baseman, Rob Wilfong.

And so Gene Mauch had a couple of options when Joyner had to go to the hospital, and one of them was, uh, what he's done tonight, Hendrick at first, Grich at second.

Another option would've been to move Grich to first base and have Rob Wilfong play second, but Wilfong has been in a horrendous slump.

Wilfong the other night was oh for three facing Clemens.

[crowd cheering] And he's six for his last 73, so Mauch opting for Hendrick and Grich.

And now Bobby Grich the batter.

Grich a 268 hitter with nine homers during the regular season.

And again, he was for the most part platooned with Rob Wilfong at second base.

[crowd cheering] Grich did not face Clemens the other night when Wilfong was in there.

Ed Olin starting at $12.

And Rob Wilfong starting at $15.

All of those going on on November the 6th.

Then the next day on November the 7th, he will have Michael Taylor signing That signing starts at $18.
