Ted, I hope you get a chance to see the play for yourself...Yogi and Boyer are just plain wrong. Coates broke to first base almost instantaneously...he veers only slightly to avoid colliding with Skowron who was directly in his path...either way there is no way they were going to get Clemente anyway..Clemente was almost to the bag by the time Skowron picked up the ball.
I did a little research on this this morning and I can see in Yogi's latest book "You can learn a lot by observing.." he just flat out states that Coates didn't cover first...then inexplicably he goes on to say that he never blamed any single person for a loss. Yogi owes Coates an apology and I would hope that at least the NY Press would examine this issue. You reading this O'Keeffe?
