The runner-up to John Montefusco for the N.L.'s Rookie of the Year award, Gary had a fine season in '75. He hit .270 with 20 doubles, 1 triple, 17 homers, and a club-leading 68 RBI in 144 contests split between behind the bat and in the outfield. The Expos signed him in 1972 and were impressed by his 23 homer, 83 RBI season for Memphis in '74, a year in which he also led I.L. catchers in fielding. He got a late season trial in '74, in which he hit .407, and now has 20 doubles, 2 triples, 18 homers, 74 RBI, and a .277 average in 153 big league games.
My Favorite Baseball Memories by Jim Robertson: My biggest thrill in baseball was my first major league game. The best fielding play I've seen involved the 1949 Yankees. There was a ground ball to Phil Rizzuto in the hole. He flipped to Billy Johnson at second, who threw the runner out at first. The funniest incident in a game also involved Rizzuto, when he was caught in a run-down. My advice to youngsters: Play ball, don't watch it on TV. And to me, the most important part of baseball is pitching.
Steve Mingori: Used in the bullpen for Indianapolis last year, Steve struck out 71 batters in 56 innings! The southpaw stands 5'10", weights 167 pounds and just turned 25 years old. Jose Pena: A native of Mexico, Jose spent five years pitching for the Mexico Tigers. In 1966, his last year with them, Jose won 19 games. At Indianapolis in '68, the righty notched 11.
