Barry Jive wrote:Terry Forster was a longtime relief pitcher who hit .397 in his career (31 for 78) with 4 doubles, a triple, a stolen base (no caught stealings) and two walks. His lifetime OPS+ is 145.

He was also used often as a pinch hitter and, once, as a right-fielder for the Pirates in a game against the Phils in 1977. I can't get more than the play by play, but it appears as though something must have happened to the Pirates' Frank Taveras because they abruptly replaced him after three batters in the bottom of the 14th inning. Naturally, as we're familiar with, in games like these one could occasionally come across a team's pitcher playing a corner outfield position. So they brought in Forster to play RF, moved Dave Parker to second base, and moved second baseman Phil Garner to short stop.

Anyway, the Phillies came back from down two runs in the bottom of the 14th and won it when Richie Hebner scored on a walkoff single by Ted Sizemore.


I remember a game from around that time where, with the bases loaded and the winning run on 3rd, the Pirates brought Parker in from RF to 2B and used FIVE infielders and TWO outfielders for the last Phillies batter of the game, who singled through the three-man left side of the infield. Might have been that one.

If it is, it means Taveras and Garner were BOTH playing shortstop.

There are no words to describe this event, but the after shock was worse than the original incident.

I can't imagine anyone being so offended as to want to participate in a news conference. I can't believe that a caricature is manifest in the form of Gloria Allred. It's just incomprehensible.

if it can be corroborated that he really said "kids don't belong at the F*&$ing ballpark" then his career in major league baseball should be over.

To be fair, he works for the Braves. He's really not used to having anyone at the ballpark.
