Grist for the Miller

In the heyday of the Yankees' Murderers Row, Koenig once led off an inning with a triple. Lazzeri scored him with a line double. Then Ruth and Gehrig smote terrific homers. That brought up Dugan, who shortened up and laid down a perfect bunt single. Manager Miller Huggins came storming out of the dugout. "Idiot!" he bellowed, "I ought to fine you a hundred bucks for breaking up a rally!"


Seems similar to what it would be like playing under Dusty Baker.
