. ▁OK . ▁Name ▁another ▁one . ▁The ▁back ▁of ▁Ren o ' s ▁card ▁is ▁interesting . ▁It ▁says ▁that ▁his ▁average ▁last ▁year ▁was ▁. 1 6 2 ▁and ▁that , ▁although ▁he ▁did ▁not ▁get ▁to ▁play ▁in ▁too ▁many ▁ball g ames , ▁he ▁gained ▁valuable ▁information ▁about ▁American ▁League ▁h url ers ▁that ▁would ▁help ▁him ▁in ▁the ▁future . ▁I ▁suspect ▁that ▁the ▁information ▁he ▁gathered ▁was ▁that ▁every ▁pitch er ▁in ▁the ▁American ▁League ▁could ▁get ▁him ▁out , ▁and ▁that ▁perhaps ▁he ▁should ▁try ▁another ▁line ▁of ▁work . ▁ ▁Now , ▁it ▁is ▁not ▁necessary ▁for ▁me ▁to ▁declare ▁that ▁H ector ▁L ope z ▁was ▁the ▁worst ▁field ing ▁third ▁bas eman ▁in ▁the ▁history ▁of ▁baseball . ▁Every one ▁knows ▁that . ▁It ▁is ▁more ▁or ▁less ▁a ▁matter ▁of ▁public ▁record . ▁But ▁I ▁do ▁feel ▁called ▁upon ▁somehow ▁to ▁try ▁to ▁indicate , ▁if ▁only ▁for ▁the ▁historical ▁archiv ists ▁among ▁us , ▁the ▁she er ▁depth s ▁of ▁his ▁innov ative ▁bar bar ous ness . ▁H ector ▁L ope z ▁was ▁a ▁but cher . ▁P ure ▁and ▁Simple . ▁A ▁but cher . ▁His ▁range ▁was ▁about ▁one ▁step ▁to ▁either ▁side , ▁his ▁hands ▁seemed ▁to ▁be ▁made ▁of ▁concrete ▁and ▁his ▁def ensive ▁attitude ▁was ▁so ▁caval ier ▁and ▁arbitrary ▁as ▁to ▁hardly ▁const itute ▁an ▁attitude ▁at ▁all . ▁H ector ▁did ▁not ▁simply ▁field ▁a ▁ground ball , ▁he ▁attacked ▁it . ▁Like
