Spahn had a great sense of humor too. Once Mays crushed a monster home run off him, in his rookie year I think, and reporters asked Spahn what had happened. He deadpanned, for the first 60 feet it was a great pitch.

I once sat directly in front of Spahn at old County Stadium in 1977 at a Brewers game. He didn't crack a joke.
