Perhaps Luis's most dramatic hit of the 1972 season came vs. Mets at St. Louis, August 8th. With Cardinals trailing, 5-4, in the bottom of the 8th, Luis hit Homer with one aboard to give Redbirds 6-5 lead. Dennis Higgins then held the Mets scoreless in the 9th to preserve the victory.
Bob may be the answer to the Nats' shortstop problem. Last season at Birmingham, he was the League's second best fielder while displaying a good batting eye and an ability to pole extra-base blows. After breaking in with St. Petersburg in '47 as a pitcher, Bob switched to the infield and played for Baltimore and Kansas City before batting .283 for Birmingham in '53.
Jimmy Wilson, an exceptional catcher in his prime as a player, and a good manager with the Phillies, is now a member of the Cincinnati Reds brain trust. He came to the Reds last year, after managing the Phils from 1934 through 1938. Wilson did his playing with the Phillies, Cardinals and Cincinnati. He began his career in the majors with the Phils in 1923, was traded to the Cards in 1928, and back to the Phillies in 1933. He was on the active list last year, but appeared in only four games for the Reds. Jimmy was not only a good catcher, with a great knowledge of pitchers and opposition weaknesses, but he could hit a hard, timely ball, as well.
