John Kalafarski Hey Don: Ted was a dead pull hitter and certainly was hurt by the long distance in right field. Your point is well taken about how tough, in general, Yankee pitching was during his career. But if he was a Yankee, he wouldn't have to face them. I think the green background of Fenway and Detroit helped Ted see the ball better. Likewise, Joe D suffered with the long shot to left he faced in Yankee Stadium. Also, Musial has been on record as saying that he was not the hitter Ted was. You sure about Grove? You know he did pitch for the Red Sox.
