Carew underwent surgery for a torn knee cartilage and, thereafter, was gun-shy on the pivot. This did not endear him to Manager Bill Rigney, nor Rigney to Carew. In a rare admission for an athlete, Carew acknowledged his fear and tried to conquer his anxiety on the field. Rigney's public questioning of his courage did not help...
