Mayo Smith playing Centerfielder Mickey Stanley at shortstop so he could get more bats in the line up was the historic anomaly of the series. Who sat? not Wert, right? he was 3 rd base, wasn’t he? (before Aurelio Rodriguez moved in there in the seventies). The ‘72 playoffs against the rising dynasty Oakland A’s was the last hurrah for that bunch and it was great.
It was Ray Oyler who sat for Mickey Stanley. I mix up him and Wert too!
