Halas's theft was the Crimson's third. Steve Potysman, who played a great game at cornerback, accounted for one in the third quarter, and Bob Baggott's weekly turnover, a Lou Piniella grab in the second that set up the Crimson's third score, represented the other...
...victim of the Dodger onslaught was none other than Don Gullett, who probably threw five good pitches out of the 99 he unfurled. He was not helped, however, by the first Yankee errors of the Series, committed by Sweet Lou Piniella and Graig Nettles on consecutive batters. But to blame the loss on these two would be akin to blaming World War I on the Archduke Ferdinand's chauffeur. Gullet just didn't have...
...first inning of the first game, Joe Morgan proclaimed his presence by hitting a home run. In the second inning, Lou Piniella of the Yankees doubled to right and took third on an infield out. Piniella assumed a modest lead. Bench fired a pick-off throw to Pete Rose. Piniella was safe by a millimeter. Now the Yankees had seen Johnny Bench's arm. With one out in the sixth, Mickey Rivers, the speed of the Yankees, reached first. He tried to steal and Morgan was a shade slow covering second. Bench started to throw. He held the ball...
Last week New York Yankee Lou Piniella slid into Boston Red Sox Catcher Carlton Fisk with enough force to trigger a wild on-field brawl-and bloody fights in the stands. One result: Pitcher Bill Lee was so severely hurt that he may be out for the rest of the season. At an Atlanta Braves-Houston Astros game, a controversial first-base call brought the entire Braves bench storming onto the field.

...loud, and inarticulate, Yankee partisans sitting behind me seemed able to get really excited only when they could combine a Red Sox nickname with an epithet, like "Pudge, you stiff." With the possible exceptions of Catfish Hunter, Thurman Munson, and for unfathomable reasons, Lou Piniella, the Yankee players (who seem by and large to lack nicknames) have not caught the fancy of the city. Like Jimmy Carter, the Yankees' support is a mile wide but maybe only an inch deep...
