7/12/77: Lopes Hits Inside-the-Park Homer, Runners-Up Upset Fan Picks, 4-2

Runners-Up 3rd base coach (and Tiger-Cats manager) Jon Brams:

Yeah I'm the guy who gave the green light to Dave Lopes on his inside-the-park home run in the 3rd. And Jim Ghoulach is the guy who by his own admission got confused and had to put Parker in centerfield. Ha! Fortunately for Ghoulach, Parker didn't screw up out there. As for my guys, they all got on base - Bull and Dawson twice each, and they each scored once. I'd like to think those two runs made the difference. Either that or one of those runs and Lopes' scramble around the bases.
