Base hit!" he screams, whenever he connects), in the solicitous way he treats the hordes of youngsters who hound him for his autograph ("I remember how I felt about ballplayers when I was a kid"). Juan's father died when he was three ("Too much rum," explains Widow Marichal), and his mother took a dim view of the lad's fanaticism. She railed against his playing ball because...

Audrey Hepburn hardly makes a move without Famous, her tiny Yorkshire. Liz Taylor takes her Pekingese and three Yorkshires almost everywhere. Tenor Franco Corelli travels with a poodle. Actor Rex Harrison brings a basset hound, and Gypsy Rose Lee has even smuggled her Chinese hairless puppy onto an airplane in her bra.
