#61---CIN @ CLE, 6/8/2001



The Reds beat the Indians 7-4 in this game; there was nothing particularly noteworthy about it. I believe I may have picked this sheet out because it illustrates a mid-batter pitching change; Rob Bell was pulled after the third pitch to the 6th place hitter in the 3rd inning (hence the entry code for Brower of 6-3(AC), with "A" for after and "C" representing the third pitch)). Brower was a eminently forgettable pitcher for the Indians from 1999-2000, but I used to mockingly call him "The Future" because Tribe radio announcer Tom Hamilton once referred to him as part of the future of the pitching staff. If Jim Brower were truly your future, it would probably be time to sell short.
