Agree with this. He once told a reporter that after he retired he would just be another N (his word) from Omaha. His competitive attitude overcame a lot, but isolated him some. He could be brusque with teammates as well..."McCarver, get back behind the plate, because the only thing you know about pitching is that you can not hit it"....per MCCarver, with respect

He was a pretty good basketball player too

Default My brother is not the baseball fan I am
but he posted this on Facebook yesterday, and I never knew this about my family....


I was at the game with my dad and granddad on July 15, 1967 when a line drive by Roberto Clemente of the Pittsburgh Pirates hit him in the shin, breaking his leg. He pitched to 3 more batters before falling from the mound when the leg finally snapped. Made quite an impression on a 15 year old kid!
