The Emergency Boys at Fenway Park yesterday, Umpire Bill Summers and Pitcher Mike Ryba. Bill took over for Art Passarella behind the plate in the first game when the heat became too much for Art, while Pitcher Mike donned the catching outfit when Bill Conroy hurt his arm in the opener. Mike then caught the nightcap.
