I haven’t tweeted in a long time. So probably better now while we still can. Message to my vast horde of 92 followers: I think you’re all terrific and the future is bright.
#OTD 45 years ago, Terry Puhl (Melville, Sask.) makes his MLB debut with the Houston Astros.
He enters the game as a defensive replacement for left fielder Jim Fuller in the eighth inning, but does not get an at bat.
The Dodgers win the game 8-0.
