Giants Roookie Jim Hart Hammers Hitters in Spring Play
Giants rookie third baseman Jim Hart has batted .379 this spring while absorbing pitches to the head and shoulder. His early injuries include a fractured shoulder blade from Bob Gibson and a hit on the head by Curt Simmons that ended his 1963 season. Hart’s strong hitting pace supports his claim to the Giants infield and allows Jose Pagan to shift to shortstop and Davenport to second. In Tacoma last season Hart hit .312 with 56 RBIs in 83 games. Other Friday results: Cincinnati beat Chicago White Sox 5-2, Cubs over Boston 3-1, Pirates over Philadelphia 2-1, Yankees blanked Washington 4-0, Milwaukee defeated Denver 5-0.
