Rennie Re-Visited

On a windy night in Chicago, Freddy Sanchez reminded the Wrigley Field faithful of a remarkably amazing offensive performance turned in by another Bucco second bagger 34 years prior. Sanchez stroked 6 hits in 6 at-bats last night, just a hit short of Rennie Stennett's legendary 7-7 outburst in Cubbieville back in 1975. This feat is quite fitting since, in my mind, Steady Freddy is the best offensive middle infielder the Bucs have employed since Stennett. (Johnny Ray fans be damned.)
Rennie's mint night is still safe

I think I still have the commemorative baseball card from his seven hit performance.

yeah, yeah and throw in Phil Garner, Tim Foli, Jose Lind, Jack Wilson, Sammy Khalifa, Pokey Reese, and even the unforgettable Dale Berra. I'll take Sir Freddy's bat over any of those guys any day.
