Gilbert MainesPASJD: Based on my observation of the at bat. As I recall (and this ability is waning) after a couple of balls, Fisher served up a big fat one to Williams, who missed it completely. Fisher then looked at Williams - it appeared to me that he may have been thinking "you big dumb babboon". Williams then stood in, took a few practise swings, the second of which was perceptibly lengthened indicating in my view "put it here, kid". I do not think that Williams had expected the previous pitch. But he sure was ready when Fisher put it where Williams indicated.
Again all, this is offered as my opinion; as was previously stated. I too have never read it anywhere. But Id bet that I did not imagine this happening. Heck, this was over 40 years ago - I was far less feeble then.
