Susano Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 "I'm beginning to see Brooks [Robinson] in my sleep,” [Sparky] Anderson said afterward. “If I dropped a paper plate, he'd pick it up on one hop and throw me out at first.” Former Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Carl Erskine once described his strategy of pitching to Musial: "I've had pretty good success with Stan by throwing him my best pitch and backing up third." Apparently the way to pitch to Hank Aaron was to make sure no one else was on base. One of the Washington Nationals TV guys once said that the way to pitch to Giancarlo (then Mike) Stanton of the Florida Marlins at Nats Park is to just go ahead and turn around & throw the ball over the right field wall. slikmar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 (edited) Quote These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance." Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds, Tinker and Evers and Chance. Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble, Making a Giant hit into a double -– Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble: "Tinker to Evers to Chance."
