Happiness! Happiness is hitting a home run and it's written all over the face of Len Lillard as he crosses the plate after walloping a four-bagger that helped Len's Buffet defeat Abbott Oil, 5-4, in an 11-Year American League game. While a teammate rushes up to throw his arms around the hitter, Abbott catcher Bob Aprill is a bit downcast.
