I try to put a case for all the cup of coffee players on why they should have at least had a second sip but I'm afraid Red that you need a better lawyer than I'd ever be to defend you, one thing on Reds favour was that the Phillies had let in 15 runs when he came to the mound unlucky for Red he let 6 more runs in during his 1 and 2/3 innings in the majors. I'm betting he never lived it down as well, your only game in the majors against a team you share a nickname with and you walk away with an era of 32.40, July 13th that year, yes you got it, it fell on a Friday.
