Sam McDowell is still etched in my mind. Not because of his pitching performance versus the Senators, but because Al Dark put him at 2B rather than face Frank Howard.
The reliever walked Howard and then faced the next batter who hit a grounder and Sam had to cover 2nd for the force out on Howard. Sam stumbled and went down on his knees at the bag. We were lucky he wasn't trampled by Howard.
