Yup. "Full Pack" indeed. What's amazing is that by hook or crook, he got the job done. Of course he did so after giving Weaver a heart attack and causing him to smoke a complete pack of cigarettes in one inning, worrying about his lead unravelling, Stanhouse would manage to pull a Houdini act over and over again. When he absolutely needed to, and not before, he could get an out.
I'll let others opine that this was not a repeatable skill over time. For a couple of years Earl Weaver, one of the sharpest baseball minds ever, handed the keys to the car over to Stanhouse when it was crunch time.
I became more familiar with him in 1980, when after two successful years in Baltimore the Dodgers took a flier on him. In LA, he no longer had the magic, and his WHIP ballooned to 1.8.
