...spray of a fire hydrant. They depict the plight of slum children with touches of humor and pathos. One story tells of a kid who moves to Manhattan's Tenth Street and has to beat up the toughest boy on the block to be accepted.

Then, in one bewildering blur, he sweeps forward to release the ball, often so violently that he staggers sideways off the mound. That lone flaw in Juan's motion-the awkwardness of his follow-through-is forever giving batters bright ideas. "Why not just bunt him to death?" Houston's young Centerfielder Jimmy Wynn asked an Astro coach when he first saw Marichal three years ago. Replied the coach: "Go ahead and bunt...
