Doyle doesn’t believe
his success in Series
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Most of the
Yankee players did exactly what
you’d expect them to the moment
they came back into the clubhouse
after nailing down their second
straight world championship.
They acted like a bunch of happy
kids, hugging each other, dousing
one another with champagne and
generally carrying on as if it were
New Year’s Eve.
One of them, however, second
baseman Willie Randoph, ineligible
to play in the World Series because
he pulled a hamstring three weeks
ago, sat quietly in the trainer’s
room, in his civvies, with a bottle of
champagne in one hand and a
sandwich in the other.
He had just watched the man who
replaced him, rookie Brian Doyle,
astonish everybody by leading all
the Yankees at bat in the Series with
a .438 average and handling 23
chances flawlessly in the field.
Willie Randolph had seen Brian
Doyle do even more than that. He
had seen him contribute a double
and a pair of singles in the Tuesday
night’s 7-2 wrapup; collect five con
secutive hits over two games to
come within one hit of a Series’ rec
ord; pull the Yankees out of their
deepest hole by starting a key dou
ble play in the third inning and push
shortstop Bucky Dent in the vote for
the Most Valuable Player of the Se
ries. Dent won the vote but Doyle
was right in back of him.
“He did some job out there,
didn’t he,” Randolph said, speaking
about Doyle without the slightest
trace of envy in his voice. “He’s one
helluva ballplayer. I broke in with
him in 1973 when he was with Gas
tonia and I was with Charleston in
the minors, so I know what he can
do. What he did didn’t surprise me.
“Of course, I would’ve loved to
have played in the Series,” Ran
dolph went on. “But the Lord works
in mysterious ways and it all came
out for the best. For Brian, for the
team, for all of us. Look, that’s one
of my teammates there,” said the
Yankees’ regular second baseman,
motioning toward the other end of
the clubhouse where Doyle was sur
rounded by a group of reporters.
“He pulled for me all year. You
think I’m gonna do anything but
pull for him now?”
Doyle never dreamed he’d play
the kind of part in the World Series
for the Yankees he did. With Syra
cuse of the International League last
year, he was called up by the Yanks
on April 23, sent to Tacoma of the
Pacific Coast League May 12, re
called three days later, sent down
again on Aug. 19 and brought back a
third time on Sept. 11.
Actually, Doyle was ineligible to
play in the Series but when Ran
dolph came up with his hamstring
pull, the Yankees asked for and re
ceived permission to use him as his
replacement for the playoffs and the
World Series.
And, he wouldn’t even have
played had the Dodgers decided to
go with left-hander Doug Rau in
stead of right-hander Don Sutton in
Tuesday’s contest.
“It’s absolutely unbelievable!” the
5-foot-9, 162-pound resident of
Cave City, Ky., kept saying over
and over again.
Doyle comes from a family of sec
ond basemen. His older brother,
Denny, played for the Phillies,
Angels and Red Sox before retiring a
year ago, and his twin brother,
Blake, led the International League
in fielding with Rochester this year.
“Denny helped me a lot,” Doyle
said. “He was in the big leagues
eight years and we discussed every
phase of the game. He told me how
little guys like us have to play the
game differently than big guys.
Keep an eye on Blake, too. He
makes the double play quicker than
I do and I think he’s a better
ballplayer than I am. ”
Next year, Willie Randolph, who
did such a good job for the Yanks
this year, is sure to be back at sec
ond base for them.

What then?
“I don’t know,” said Doyle.
“Right now, I’m not thinking that
far. I’m only thinking of what hap
pened these past few days and it’s
unbelievable.
