Bet not on the 22nd of August. 

I looked up Opening Day 1977.  Eddie got a hit, obviously his first, but Dauer was 0 for 5 (and for all I know Dauer might have had a Sept 76 call up).  So no luck there.

Verdugo on 2nd.

Devers/JD/Bogaerts due.

Scary.

I was just thinking about Eddie.

Nice! High heat!

Somehow this new "MLB Overtime " seems  a bit like the College Football Overtime .

The Red Sox bullpen is walking into spiderwebs 

That is a terrific image

We'll never know what kind of throw Sisco would have uncorked to third there if Verdugo had gone 

[Aristotelian]

Why are we even pitching to JD here?

Have we ever had two guys get their first ML hit in the same game ???

On September 18th of 1970, Don Baylor got his 1st career hit, and Johnny Oates got his 2nd career hit ........ Johnny hit a single one day earlier.

That's the closest that I have come up with so far.

Meanwhile, Sulser is about to turn Back into a pumpkin.....

[mrbig1]

All that does is set up the DP.

[CynBeth]

Oh no not who I want to see at the plate. He always hits well against us.

[Aristotelian]

"Human rain delay that is Bogaerts." Nice.
