Now I live on charity, I who ran faster than the camels...
...after a soaring first-inning smash by Pittsburgh's Ralph Kiner, Ted threw himself high and hard against the left-field wall. He caught the ball, and went on to play for eight innings, driving in a run and making another hair-raising catch. But his left elbow hurt. After the game (the National League won for the first time in five years, 4-3), X rays' showed why: Ted had been playing for eight innings with a fractured elbow...
