Hustling but erratic, Spiezio was Ken Boyer's heir apparent at third base for the Cardinals until injuries wrecked his 1965 season. A backup for St. Louis's 1967 and 1968 pennant-winners, he played on a platoon basis with the Padres, hitting .285 with 12 HR in 1970. (MC)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » July 10, 1970: The Padres launch four home runs in the 9th inning against LA but the power display comes too late and the Dodgers win, 9–7. Wes Parker has two doubles and a triple for LA. For the Padres, Ivan Murrell, Ed Spiezio and Dave Campbell hit solo homers off Bill Singer, and Cito Gaston connects for a 2-run homer off Jose Pena. The barrage is one short of the record.
