That's the one! If I remember right, it may have been his first game having ever played 2B! (And if it was not, I'll choose to believe it anyway)

Off topic, but how did the infield dimensions come to fruition? They allow for some baserunning derringng do, but not others. Happenstance, or evolution?

Not sure I follow... are you asking about the 90 feet? Or the 45 foot runner's lane?
