Manager Gene Mauch, said of Boccabella” excerpts a quiet type of leadership over the pitching staff.”

Boccabella said, “It was just one of those things.” and added”I was kinda punchy and forgot that I hit them both in the same inning. I am more relaxed this year.” He will hit 7 home runs and drive in 46 runs, both career highs. His .233 average is the second highest in any season with over 100 at bats.
