Or only Balderis and Zholtoks? Partridge will be wrong this time

As the first thing that immediately comes to mind, it is Juris Repsis – our excellence and the best pitcher before Balder. In 1969 or 1970, but maybe in both years, Juris deserved to play in the USSR national team at the world championship, being the last to be counted. At that time, no other Latvian played in the USSR Superleague, as Repsim threw as many as 18 goals in both years as part of Dynamo Moscow. Which is not little.

Unfortunately, at the beginning of Jur’s career (1961), the USSR didn’t register assists yet, they officially started to do so only from 1970/71. g. tournament. How many assists did Repsis play in the top league of the USSR this decade? Dies’ knows it…
