Kuhn always rooted for Walt Judnich, a large outfielder for the old St. Louis Browns, because Judnich once spoke to him with extraordinary kindness. Looking up the record of Sid Cohen, in Kuhn's memory a Senators pitcher of glorious accomplishment, Kuhn was charmed not long ago to ind that Cohen had pitched a total of three major league seasons and won exactly three games.
