Somehow, Mauch Manages to Lose Pennant

That darn Gene Mauch! Not only does he pitch the ball that allows Boston to steal Game 5, but then he goes out in the field and misplays all those easy grounders! As if all that isn’t enough, he comes up to bat and continually leaves key runners in scoring position.

Get my point? Now why don’t all you self-proclaimed “experts” get off his back and stop the second-guessing.
