...impossible to figure out. Goin' South does provide him with the funniest -and possibly the most enjoyable-role he's ever had. Henry Moon, the film's Texas outlaw hero, can take his place alongside Lee Marvin in Cat Ballou, John Wayne in True Grit and Jason Robards in The Ballad of Cable Hogue. A good-hearted rogue with slovenly personal habits, Moon is the essence of frontier vulgarity.

A leadoff walk to Butch Hobson and a hit-and-run single by pinch-hitter (for George Scott) Jack Brohamer sent Baker to the showers after five innings of near-perfect work. With John Hiller on the mound for Detroit, Jason Thompson nearly killed the rally by gunning pinch-runner Frank Duffy at the plate with one out, but Mr. Remy coolly stroked his game-winning single to centerfield moments later...
