Earl Weaver claims to have never had a sign for the hit and run, citing that the play makes both the baserunner and the hitter vulnerable, as the baserunner is susceptible to being caught stealing and the hitter is required to swing at any pitch thrown. I'd take Earl Weaver's mummified corpse as a manager before I'd allow Lou or Bob to manage a game from the dugout. Ok, I am not big on the hit and run either but the blame cannot be taken completely away from Lee for killing yet another rally this season.
