Text | [Mutuals vs. Irvingtons 6/28/67] Crawford afterward secured his second...but not being aware of a sharp dodge which Martin plays to perfection, he was caught napping between second and third. The way of it was this: Martin would take his position facing the striker, as if to pitch, but without making any movement to deliver, would suddenly turn and face the second baseman, and nearly every time would catch the base runner off his base by the rapidity with which he would turn and throw the ball to second. He plays this point better than we have ever seen it done. Twice he caught players in this way in this game. |
