played semi-pro. baseball. ~I

1962 with the El Paso team he
led the league in hitting with.348 and in hits with 179. He
had 23 home runs with 115 runs
batted in. For this supreme effort he won the MVP award and
played in the Texas -League All
Star game. Chuck -was also voted
the Most Popular Player at El
Paso. ~My biggest kick last year
came when I hit four home runs
in one game against Amarillo.
He accomplished this feat on
August 20th.

The next year he went to Corpus Christi where he punched

drove in 69 runs while hitting a

Rig used a total of 60 pitchers

be an understatement! iets

After 18 games, the Angel bull
penners had a microscopic 1.91
ERA! Rig used ten.men in relief
in the first dozen and, a~ half} J
games. Only Ken McBride, Bo
Belinsky and Dean Chance didn~t
relieve. Don Lee, the other regular starter, made one relief appeatance~otherwise, the reliev-|
ers were: Art Fowler, Eli Grba,

Osinski worked only one game
