After the euphoria of Gibson's home run in Game 1, Hershiser forgot his notes on the A's hitters. So he took a laminated card with him to the mound. In his back pocket was a laminated sheet of paper, about the size of a credit card, with all his information about A's hitters. Before the start of the game, Hershiser took Doug Harvey, the umpire crew chief, and plate umpire Durwood Merrill aside and told him what he had in his possession and not to panic if he referred to it occasionally.
Whatever information Hershiser gleaned from scouting reports must have helped, because the only A's hitter who could figure him out was Dave Parker, who accounted for all 3 hits. Hershiser would shutout the A's on just three hits, extending his great pitching run. From Aug. Are you a Stathead, too? Subscribe to our Free Newsletter.
