Fred doesn't kid himself nor his
listeners about the past or future
Prior to the exhibition with the
Phillies, he was explaining why
his club lost so many games last
season.
1T goes into funny situation,
the times we're beaten, and the
times we beat ourselves" said
Haney. "At our first meeting this
spring, / told the players sloppy
base running, flubbing cutoff plays
and throwing to the wrong bases
cost us Is games last year Take
off those and you can see we
wouldn't have finished in the Gel
lar
Continuing his explanation of
the Pirates woes, Fred remarked,
"A good, smart club plays you
even and lets you beat yourself"
BEFORE that particular afternoon
was over, the Pirates indicated
they may be better than in 1854,
because they made the P.lillies
wait until the 18th inning before
an error by shortshop Gair Allie
put catcher Gus Niarhos on base
with the potential winning run.
Bobby Morgan drove him home
with a double.
No manager is trying harder
than Haney to develop young
talent. He has so players in camp
and stages three games a day to
give the lads chance to show
their talents.
