With regards to Mike Schmidt not running to second on a wild
pitch, there is a VERY good reason for not going to second. If
there is men second and third with two outs and Joe Lefebvre
(pronounced "Le Fey") batting hits a ball into the hole at short
the shortstop has to make a long throw to first to get the out
if Lefebvre is not walked. If Schmidt does advance to second then
you can bet your bottom dollar that Lefebvre is going to be
walked and the hard hitting (.241 ave) Gary Maddox is at bat.
Good baserunning (NOT running at the proper time is just as
important as running at the proper time.)

Sincerely;
Greg Hennessy
