...bats. On the contrary, he shags stray balls for batting-practice pitchers-a job usually left to utility players and aging coaches. Once when he failed to run out a long foul ball that the wind suddenly blew fair, he fined himself for not hustling. Says Twins Manager Gene Mauch: "As impressed as I am with Rod Carew the hitter, Rod Carew the baseball player, I am more impressed with Rod Carew...
...obvious parallels between his material and modern issues. He does the audience the honor of allowing it to discover the blindnesses and obsessions, the sober lunacies he quietly lays out on the screen.

Montreal manager Gene Mauch called Buckner's catch the best he's ever seen, but nobody wants to hear how Buckner snagged the ball just as he hit the foul line, about how he slid on his belly toward the reserved seat section in a dust storm of white chalk. Ancient Dodger heroics excite...
