...physique. One-third of American youth do not measure up to Defense Department standards, and each year the armed forces turn away 600,000 men, half of whom cannot pass the mental tests. Their rejection mirrors the U.S. poverty map: more than 68% fail in Mississippi, only 7.5% in Minnesota or Washington.

In 1964, as a baby-faced Cuban farm lad who spoke practically no English ("Tony talks so bad," cracked Fellow Cuban Zoilo Versalles, the Twins' shortstop, "that he even says 'ain't' in Spanish"). Outfielder Oliva hit 32 home runs and batted .323-thus becoming the first rookie ever to win the American League's batting championship.
