The shortest name in big league history shortens (ends actually) the Cat's last MLB life.

I guess we have to buy the damn book.

Or maybe it's a sign that the book might not be worth reading.

Wow. I didn't know this. I had just quit the Mets after the Seaver trade.

Felix Millian signed for me at the bus behind the Shea LF bullpen... yet I do not remember that incident.....

I remember the incident, and Millan pretty much asked for it.

He was initially replaced by a combination of Bobby Valentine and Joel Youngblood. If the Mets had a late inning lead, they'd send Foli in at shortstop and slide Flynn --- a good shortstop but a great secondbaseman --- over to the keystone to finish the game. Torre grew unhappy with the defense he was getting from Valenblood (Valentine's range was pretty narrow at this point, and Youngblood was undisciplined), so by the end of the season, Flynnie was his fulltime secondsacker. The Mets wouldn't be getting any offense from second again until 1984.

I bought Millan's book last year, I think. Still haven't gotten past page one.
