42 vcnini Journal, Wilmingtcn, Del. Thursday, October 12, 19S7 Boston 'Star 9 Takes Things in Stride A La Carte Bj al Sports Editor Evening TVA I 1 II mm BOSTON-HE DID NOT KNOW HE HAD PARTICIPATED in a World Scries record. What's he didn't seem to care. It has been one of the ancient Boston organization's most splendid hours, this victory over the Cardinals that condensed the tournament into one big showdown, but he said The Cards, using eight for the day and four in one inning, tied two more records. And yet the man who had driven pitchers to try and do their best attempted to get away with saying only that he had tried to do HIS best.

Al Forester is the guy who drives the cart that brought 11 pitchers into history. Busy After Game, Too NEWSPAPER TYPES JAMMED THE RED SOX CLL'B- house, analyzing the day's heroes. On the diamond, policemen and ushers protected the turf until the park was empty. By the Red Sox dugout, Dick Williams was being interviewed on TV by Joe Garagiola through what looked like four miles of cables. You had to squeeze past Joe Cronin, the well-fed president of the American League, to get down the box-seat aisle to the field.

You were looking for the gent in the brown uniform with the overseas cap and the sunglasses and there he was working-pulling a drag over the basepaths with the same red buggy he had used for his record-shattering trips. Al Forester and his "caht," as he calls it, had shuttled between the bullpens they stretch from right to center fields, in front of the bleachers and the first-base line so many times you feared he'd run out of gas and strand a reliefer in short right, or somewhere. "Not gas," corrected Forester, a tanned little man in his 40s. "Electric six batteries. I charge it every night.

Tonight it might need a pretty good charge. "I knew I was busy, but I never gave it a thought this might be a record. Seems to me I had to fetch 10 pitchers one day this season when we played the Angels It was the Game of the Week on NBC-TV-but I could be wrong." Hoerner did not lose his lunch on the way into the arena. Jaster did not perspire all over the front seat. Bell did not grimly swear to avenge the Jim Murray rips at the Red Sox as he got into the cart.

No scoops, blast it. Nobody Says Much "NOBODY SAID MUCH THEY NEVER DO," COM-mented the star pilot of Fenway's automobile pool. "Lamabe said hello-he used to be with the Red Sox, you know. Woodeshick mentioned that I've been around here a long time I've been a member of the ground crew for 11 years. I knew Woodeshick when he played in our league with Cleveland and Washington.

"But there wasn't any comment about the way the game was going, or what they were getting into. I just picked 'em up, took 'em to the game. I park this thing in a little runway beyond first base. We call it Canvas Alley. That's where we keep the tarpaulins, too." What Forester was driving the pitching queue to and specially the Cardinal troop movement was a tremendously exciting spectacle.

For the customers, that is. For the pitchers well, just check the line score and the home runs. he was not impressed with his performance. "After six seasons," he said, intercepted on the ball field as the giddy crowd reluctantly left Fenway Park, you learn to take these things in stride." Maybe time will melt his indifferent approach to standards. Maybe in seasons to come, maybe next season, he will be glad to mention that he was in on it.

He was in on it along with Gary Was- 4 Al artwright Forester has been at the wheel since August 1960. "That's when we installed the cart," he said. "My first customer was Luis Arroyo of the Yankees. He was the first and last Yankee pitcher I drove. Casey Stengel said he wanted his pictures walking-not riding.

Yogi Berra and Ralph Houk kept the rule going. Makes no difference to me. "I give the boys a safe ride. I have to make a sharp left turn to get in foul territory from the bullpens and once Sparky of our club almost fell out, but it wasn't anything serious. They've kidded me about it ever since." Al Forester drove into millions of homes yesterday on TV.

Little.did he realize that he would finish the game as a member of'the Haul of Fame. lewski, John VVyatt, Gary Bell, Dick Hughes, Ron Willis, Nelson Briles, Jack Lamabe, Joe Hoerner, Larry Jaster, Ray Washburn and Hal Woodeshick. One by one, they climbed the pitching pinnacle in the snake pit that is Fenway Park, with its monster fence in left field. Eleven pitchers in one game, breaking the Series record.
