Braves to the End

When Dick Culler was with the Braves he seldom saw any action. Sibby Sisti was the regular shortstop. One day the Braves wee losing by a lopsided score and Manager Billy Southworth, deciding to rest Sisti, told Culler to warm up and get into the game. Then, as an afterthought, he asked one of his coaches what the score was.

"It's 9-2," his assistant informed him.

"Sit down, Dick," Southworth ordered Culler. "We ain't giving up yet."
