You may remember that in the 1973 World Series (A's vs Mets) a man named Mike Andrews played 2B for Oakland and made two crucial errors in game 2 allowing the Mets to win in extra innings. Charlie O'Finley's reaction was to try to place Andrews on the Disabled List so he could call up a minor leaguer to take his place on the roster. Question: Who was the minor leaguer that Charlie O. tried to replace Andrews with? Send your answers/guesses to me, please don't post them. Just to make this more interesting I thought we should have a prize for the winner, so the first person to send me the correct answer will get a free bowl of Cheerios! That should motivate everyone. The question's too tough? Ok, Ok, I'm a reasonable person, so here's a hint which may or maynot help you. Hint #1: He is a former Montreal Expo. I'll post another hint in 2-3 days and I'll post the answer in about a week. In the meantime you'd better hurry with your answers because I sense that those Cheerios won't last long. -- Bruce Gamble - abgamble@water.UUCP
