He's a Wynn'er
For many years the late Jerome “Dizzy” Dean
has been known as the most unpredictable baseball an
nouncer as far as the choice of words or terms are
concerned.
Dizzy finally has some, opposition from Early
Wynn who does three innings of play by play of each
Toronto blue Jays game along with Tom Cheek.
While Wynn is very knowledgeable about baseball
his radio delivery falls far short of the style he used
when throwing fast balls and curves for the Cleveland
Indians.
When Dave McKay hit a home run for Toronto
Saturday night in the bottom of the tenth with the
score tied 2-2, Wynn said, “that puts us ahead 3-2,” He
was quickly told by his colleague Tom Cheek that the
game was over.
In Sunday’s broadcast, Wynn got his words mixed
up as follows, “there goes a centre to single field.”
Two other comments from Wynn this year have
been, “He goes into third with a standup double,” and
“the throw from the outfield was off-line. It was to the
home plate side of second base. ”

Back to the Tigers
While a lot of our vocal support is now behind the
Blue Jays, we still have a soft spot for the Detroit
Tigers, especially the 1968 edition.
We saw the three Tiger home games of that
memorable World Series and have many pleasant
memories we will never forget.
That 1968 team was honoured Sunday by the Tiger
organization and all of the 25 man roster were in atten
dance except the two top pitchers, Denny McLain and
Mickey Lolich.
Lolich, now with the San Diego Padres pitched on
the west coast Saturday night and was unable to at
tend. The reason for McLain not showing was un
known at ceremony time. He has fallen on hard times
in recent years and has been known to miss op
pointmen ts.
Willie Horton now with Toronto was given permis
sion to go to Detroit for Sunday’s celebration and the
Tigers made arrangements to get Horton to Arlington,
Texas for a Monday night game.
One of the features of the 1968 Tigers was their
ability to come from behind. During the regular
season they came from behind or broke a tie from the
seventh inning on 40 times to win a ball game.
Only two players of the 1968 team are still on the
Detroit active roster. They are ace reliever John
Hiller and all-roc.nd utility man Mickey Stanley.
Hiller was called to take over pitching chores for
the Tigers-in the seventh inning of Sunday’s game and
held Milwaukee scoreless to hang up another save, his
eleventh of the year. He has six victories.
One of the top notch pitchers in the American
league, Frank Tanana had a tough time on the televi
sion game of the week Monday night.
The game was played during a steady rain and on
two occasions Tanana had the ball slip out of his hand
and behind his back on a pitch to the plate and on a
pickoff play.
Tough luck
The Dashwood Tigers who start OB A ‘C’ playoffs
this week received some bad news over the weekend.
Their ace right handed pitcher Perry Stover was
seriously injured in a car accident west of St. Marys
early Saturday morning.
Stover is suffering from a broken collarbone,
broken nose and severe facial lacerations. He has
been released from hospital.
That leaves the Tiger pitching chores up to lefty
Jim Guenther and veteran Jim Pfaff.
The Tigers will meet either Dresden or Tillson-
burg in the first round. The first game will be in
Dashwood Friday or Saturday night at 8 p.m.
Other teams in provincial contention are from Ot
tawa, Killaloe, Mattice, Sudbury, Whitby, Brampton
and New Lowell.
It's coming
Don’t look now, but, the summer is almost over.
That thought really hit home when we received a
letter from Don Urbshott, manager of the Lucan-
Ilderton Jets sending along a schedule for his team for
the coming year.
The Jets with newly appointed coach Pete
Loveless in charge will start the regular OHA Con
tinental season in Chatham on October 4 and will play
their first home game at the Ilderton arena against
the London Kings on October 8.
On the gridiron
Football practices for the two football teams at
South Huron District High School started Monday
night and will continue this week.
Junior coach Doug Ellison has a real chore on his
hands with a flock of first year prospects. More than
60 grade niners were getting their first taste of foot
ball basics Monday and Tuesday night.
At the senior level, coach Ron Bogart is pleased
with the initial response with about 30 in attendance
and regular school classes don’t start until Tuesday.

third and deciding game of
the best-of-five series when
they came to life.
The Tigers scored five
times in the ninth and held
the Colts scoreless in their
final turn at the plate to grab
the victory and the title.
The Tigers should be
starting the first round of
Ontario Baseball Association
playoffs this weekend but,
final arrangements were not
completed at press time.
They will meet either
Tillsonburg or Dresden.
Clinton pitcher Don
McDonald ran into a bit of
wildness to give the Tigers
some hope in Wednesday’s
ninth inning.
Barry Baynham, John
Hayter and Perry Stover
walked to load the bases.
Singles by Jim Dietrich and
Bob Hoffman, a fielders’
choice and a Clinton error
helped to send the five runs
across the plate.
The only other two Dash
wood hits off McDonald were
singles by Doug Fairbairn
and Jim Guenther. He
retired the side in order in
the fifth, sixth and seventh
innings.
Jim Guenther was just as
stingy on the Dashwood
mound. He allowed six well
scattered hits. They came in
six different innings. Clinton
scored single runs in the first
and fifth frames.
