...Glove Men. Richards readily admitted that his team has no super star, no candidate for the batting title. "We try to choke off their runs, keep them down and let them give us the game," he said. "Our style is like punting and praying in football, or just hitting it back in tennis. You've got to start with the defense. If you can't get the other fella out, you can't win the game, no matter how many runs you score...

In his home town of St. Paul there were no pro teams near by, he explains, and "most of us didn't know the league existed."
