The Fork Ball Doesn't Give These Guys Trouble -- The Pittsburgh Pirates' three catchers, posing with their mitts, all say the dazzling fork ball of ace Pirate relief hurler Elroy Face is easy to catch. Hitting it, they say, is a different matter. Face has pitched in relief in the three games the Pirates have taken from the New York Yankees in the current World Series. The catchers are (l to r): Hal Smith, Smoky Burgess and Bob Oldis.
