Bill Madlock Learns To Hit, Rangers at Angels, September 25, 1973.

from Classic Baseball Radio · host Ewan Spence

As the four-time NL batting champion, Bill Madlock has an impressive reputation as a hitter. It's even more impressive when you realise he is one of only three right-handed hitters to lift multiple NL batting titles since 1960. The other two are Roberto Clemente and Tommy Davis. He finished his playing career over the .300 and 2000 mark, with a .305 batting average and 2,008 hits in total, 3 All-Star appearances, and one World Series Ring from 1979. For today's classic game, we're going right back to the beginning. It is September 1973, and Madlock debuted in the MLB at the start of the month. In the dog days of the Rangers' season, he's finding his footing in The Show. As his team visit the Angels, Madlock is covering third base, and is seventh in the batting order. Don Drysdale and Dick Enberg take you through the game. You can find the boxscore here: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CAL/CAL197309250.shtml This game was played on September 25, 1973.
