April 8, 201412 yr Braves pitcher. Not Jimmy Wynn. I don't think Rick Monday went to the Dodgers till the late 70's. I know Lee Lacy played for the Dodgers, but I think he was with the Braves in the early 70's. I'm obviously missing somebody rather easy, but I'm drawing a blank.
April 8, 201412 yr He became a pitching coach. Just tossing these out...don't believe any of them played for the Braves at this time (or maybe ever!) Joe Kerrigan Galen Cisco (sp?) Dick Pole Ray Miller
April 8, 201412 yr Was Tom House the pitcher?? I seem to remember this to be part of something I saw when his methods of training and coaching pitchers became prominent. I know the left fielder was Bill Buckner.

April 8, 201412 yr The same questions should be asked about #714. Jack Billingham no clue...but perhaps Dusty? Pete Rose? Don't think anyone "caught" it, did they? Thought it went in between the wall and the stands at Riverfront.

April 8, 201412 yr It was Billingham. Yeah, knew Billingham was on the mound for the Reds. Had (have) no idea as to who was on deck for the Braves, though. That's why the "no clue" was next. Just a guess that Pete was still in the outfield at that time.
April 8, 201412 yr Bill Buckner. Good grief. I knew it would be somebody easy. Mad at myself for not thinking of him:
April 8, 201412 yr #714 - April 4, 1974 - Riverfront Stadium - Opening Day. Jack Billingham was the pitcher. Baker was on deck. Rose was indeed in LF. Ball picked up by usher behind the wall. VP Gerald Ford on hand to congratulate Aaron during stoppage of play. I was 14.
