Bob Wood - I never thought we would beat Long Island in the opening round - they had the best record in the league.

Down, 3 games to 1, and trailing 3-1 after 7 innings in Fortney in Game 5, I never thought we could beat the Gators. But, one lousy error in a 7-game series by the Gators proved costly. An unlikely hero in Dick Williams with a 2-run triple, and the Bucks had stolen Game 5. Then, the absence of 19-game winner Camilo Pascual proved too much for the Gators to overcome. Forced to start "D" pitchers in the final 2 games, even Nellie Fox's hitting couldn't jumpstart the Gator attack. Luis Aparicio left eight runners on base in the finale. And the final game winning hit of the season belonged to Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks, who hit the 3-run homer off a gutsy Jim Bronstad.

Congratulations, Don, on a wonderful season. We're quite proud to be able (finally) to add "BRADENTON" to the long list of TCBA champions, joining so many predecessors!
