Why? Because Muser was the guy who replaced Dick Allen at first base when Allen quit the team in the middle of the 1974 season (while leading the league in HR's—he just wasn't in the mood to play any more. A real Hall of Famer). Stein was the guy who replaced Bill Melton when Melton's back gave out. We went from having Allen & Melton, reliable 30 HR guys in the line up and at the corners, to having Muser & Stein, who were banjo hitters at traditional power positions. I knew my White a Sox wouldn’t be winning the pennant any time soon.Flitgun Frankiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474023909860316340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487834052004001845.post-90839633992525472192010-10-23T09:06:57.559-04:002010-10-23T09:06:57.559-04:00MJ-Now that is too funny.
