Whitey loved to platoon players and he did it in LF with Tom Poquette and Jim Wohlford. Poquette was playing really well. But in June, might have been the against the White Sox, he went back to make a play on a long fly ball, caught a spike in one of the seams in the turf, stumbled and hit the unpadded wall with his face. Fractured maxillary sinus. Was not long after they padded that wall. Scared the bejeezus out of everybody in LFGA.
Thought he was dead. No joke.
Anyway, they got really hot and had the best record in the AL at the ASB.

I'm a little confused. 31-19 is a slooow start? I mean, I know we're not the '84 Tigers, but that seems a bit much. But if you're trying to allude we will get even hotter than we already are, and have the best record in the AL by the ASB, then I'm happy!
