Sons of Steve Garvey:
Charlie Haeger (0-0, -.--) vs. Chris Carpenter (12-3, 2.27).
COMMENTS: From the LA Times:
Haeger said he has already thrown his knuckleballs in practice with Dodgers backup catcher Brad Ausmus "and he handled it fine, and I'm assuming Russell [Martin] can handle it just fine too."
Might we suggest this glove?
