Two Pitchers Now Know How Short-Lived Fame Is
Two veteran pitchers faced demotion or release as spring rosters took shape. Dave Morehead, Boston, was optioned to Louisville after a no-hitter in 1965, while Bill Rohr was outright released. The day also saw Gary Nolan sent to the minors for Cincinnati with arm trouble and Steve Barber moved to Syracuse by the Yankees. Exhibitions produced varied results as Detroit, Washington, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Oakland, Cleveland, and Chicago clubs posted wins, while notable performances included Mickey Stanley’s three-run homer for Detroit and Angel rookie Vicente Romo’s decisive error in a late rally.
