The pro ballplayers cast as the fictional “Padres” (a name which puzzled and vaguely irritated them) adopted the attitude of the blase’ film crew in their disdain for this role which they couldn’t hide despite their stoic determination to stay on, since the pay is decent and it’s only for a few months, until it’s time to report back to their teams and prepare to play ball.

Larry’s forehead must be just about the size of Beldar Conehead’s.

“Jeeze, you cans stick a fork in us now. Get up that guy with the huge forehead….Harry whatshisname…”

I think Oscar Villareal holds the NL record. (He appeared in a couple fewer games than Runyan.)

10 : Before joining the Padres in ’74, he pitched in three games for Hawaii.

Anybody want to take a stab at who now holds the rookie record for games pitched? (It’s not Hardy anymore.)

Starting on May 5, he appeared in 9 of the next 11 games, 21 of 32, and 27 of 43.

Thanks for another great series Josh.
