In a cutting commentary on the new President's intelligence, Lyndon Johnson once suggested that Ford had played football too long without a helmet, and could not chew gum and walk at the same time.

When he struck out, as he did often enough to lead the league for four consecutive years, he would toss his bat to the ground or slam his batting helmet onto the dugout bench. His morale was not helped by a bitter feud that quickly developed with Finley. This dispute, which began over salary and spread in 1970 to Jackson's quality of play, reached a peak late that summer. While crossing the plate after hitting a grand-slam home...
