Scoops

Bob Barrickman catches up with Al Oliver for the Beaver County & Allegheny County Times. Turns out he's a deacon living in Ohio now.

"Scoops" got his nickname because he made 140 errors in two seasons as a minor-league first baseman. That's in the so-bad-he-must-be-good category. Like a twenty-game loser, the guy who makes that many errors must be contributing somehow for his team to put up with such numbers.
