Notes & reviews

French's 1st ML start
Near LF wall
Into lower tier of RF stands
Slow roller
Into upper tier of LF stands
Remarkable pickup and throw.
High bounder
Got away from Kaufmann UR? No, if assume L.Waner would've made 3B on single to RCF and then scored on the SF to CF.
Against RF signs
Nice pickup by French of the wicked bounding drive
Over Jackson's head
