Story by Mark Grace....
Rick Sutcliffe gave up back-to-back Home Run`s in Cincinnati.
And in Cincinnati, they shoot off fireworks after a Red hits a home run.
Rick Sutcliffe was pretty intense on the day he pitched.
So Eric Davis takes him deep, and Paul O'Neill takes him deep right after that.
So Sutcliffe is all mad, and pitching coach Billy Connors comes out to the mound and Sutcliffe yells at him, "I know I gave up back-to-back home runs, but get your ass back in the dugout and tell Zimmer to settle down too!"
Billy Connors looks at Sutcliffe and says, "I know you have everything under control, Rick.
I just wanted to give that guy running the fireworks a little more time to reload."
With apologies to Mr. Sutcliffe, still my favorite baseball story!
