Stargells legs.
One thing so far, Stargell
could be playing on crutches
and still be scoring a lot of
runs. Stargell, who had knee
operations in 1964 and 1965,
fears further damage, particu-
larly in his left leg.
Knee Bothers Him
The left one, hurts a lot, he
said. It feels much like it did
the last time I had to have sur-
gery and I feel certain the carti-
lage damage will require anoth-
er knee operation at the end of
the season.
As for playing first base,

suggested. Man, that would
be all right, he said. But
making up the lineup isnt my
department.
Robertson, bothered by ten-
dinitis of the wrist, sat out his
second straight game Wednes-
day night with the veteran
Davalillo taking over. Davalil-
lo is a relative stranger to first
base having spent most of his
big league career in the out-
field.
But Murtaugh prefers to
keep Stargell in left where he
