Durocher, my father’s favorite manager. I see nothing wrong with that statement. All kinds of baseball can be interpreted as practicing situations, cut offs, bunt defense, and lots of other things. All often happening at the same time, all kinds of baseball.
I guess it is not slipshod reporting after all. I remember Leo Durocher was still coaching for the Dodgers when I first became a fan as a kid. Back in the days of Koufax and Drysdale, Maury Wills and Jim Gilliam. Oh, and Tommy and Willie Davis in the outfield. There was also a slugger in the OF but his name escapes me. I played first base in Little League so Ron Fairly was my obligatory role model. I thought of Vin Scully as a sort of uncle until I was in Junior High School. And I mustn't leave out John Roseboro behind the plate.
