Bill Rigney: King of the Boneheads

Posted By: identify7

When your pitcher gives up two back to back home runs, and you leave him in, you are on the edge of your seat on every pitch to the third batter.

Well Rigney did this on July 31, 1963 and his pitcher gave up a third consecutive home run. Whew - stoopid! But Rigney left him in again - and he gave up the fourth! This is World Class stupidity, never been equalled in baseball history.

On this day, Paul Foytack gave up home runs to the 8th slot in the order: Woody Held, the pitcher: Ramos, the leadoff hitter Tito Francona and a rookie's 1st HR in the bigs: Larry Brown. Not exactly a murder's row. Everyone in the park (and viewing from home) who was not named Rigney knew that his pitcher had lost his edge.

What is your favorite bonehead play?
