I came up with two out in the 2nd, with Jerry Browne on 2nd. I flew out to Gene Larkin in right.

I caught a Glavine liner for the 1st out in the 3rd.
But then Jeff Blauser scored on a Griffey single.

I caught a Bagwell fly for the 3rd out in the 5th.

I then led off the bottom half by driving a ball into centre for a single.
Stolen base #51.

I came up in the 9th with one out and Duane Ward on the mound. I flew out to Ron Gant in left.

That evening we got word that Ed Whitson - who had already announced his retirement - was traded to the Reds for a couple of minor leaguers named Luis Munoz and Miguel Cintron.

That was our only deal.

Do I regret not asking for a trade? I never wanted to be that guy.

Oh, Al Leiter has been called up.
