 | Tuesday, August 21st, 1984: Patriots Third Baseman Out
Jeff Longstreet at first refused to leave today's Denver-Pawtucket game after he suffered a strained achilles tendon while running the bases. But his manager convinced him not to be foolish. "I'm a competitor," the feisty Pawtucket third baseman said. "I'll play through just about anything." Given time to reflect on the situation, he knew it was in his best interest to get immediate treatment. The injury is expected to keep Longstreet out of action for 8 weeks.
In 117 games this season Longstreet is batting .302 with 133 hits, 37 doubles, 3 triples and 5 home runs. He has 1 stolen base, scored 70 runs and driven in 44. | |
