Only Cash (leadoff) and Brinkman (cleanup) did not bat in those spots in any other game that season. All the other players had at least one other game in their slots.

which means it was almost cetainly not random.  I wonder if putting Brinkman clean-up was really directed towards Cash?

I vaguely remember being a bit disappointed that the line-up had not changed that much.  I was only 9, so I didn't understand random samples, but when I heard he picked the line-up out of a had, I was expecting something more bizzare.
