Earl has shown to be the best of the AWA hurlers with ten E.R.A. titles to his credit. Outfielder Steve Barrett has eight of these awards, although he still claims that some of those wild throws should have been handled by the infielders. Coach Applegate has seven, and he can't blame those grounders through his legs on anybody. This is the guy who was in the batting chase on Opening Day, but quickly sank to the bottom of the batting chart. The bloops don't drop in, every line drive is caught, and that damn official scorer rules everything an error.
Life is hard.
We are not sympathetic.
