In the next inning or so Stanley. drop- ped a dead fly to his hands and to make matters worse he struck out the next time at bat. The ‘poy with the Coca-Cola shirt has high inspiration of making the trip to ‘Tampa with the Conchs and local fans are wondering whether Manager Hamlin will earry the great Leo along.
