April 13, 1969...GAME 5 (SEA 2, CHW 1)

Dare we say the bulldog is back ??? Bouton got into the game with the score tied at 1 and went 3 scoreless innings and got the win when Rich Rollins hit a sac fly to right to score Tailwind Tommy Harper. Harper setup the whole inning with his legs. He beat out an infield single, then promptly stole second and got to third when Wayne Comer bunted him over. Pundits thought Harper was going to be a weak link, but he and Ray Oyler have been a good keystone combo so far. Can't believe those three innings. More so, I can't believe Maglie and Schultz put me in with the score tied in the 8th. Marty Pattin went 7 innings and gave up only 1 run. Those anemic White Sox bats are sure making us look good. Tried to talk to Maglie after the game to see about getting more work, but he wasn't interested in chatting. Coaches and managers hate to talk to players. In baseball they have a saying, "he's a good guy...doesn't say much". Guess I'm not such a good guy.
