Zitat des Tages von Bobby Thomson:
I went into the Air Corps from 1943 through 1945.
When he asked if I would like to try second base, I thought, Hey, get me in the lineup.
In New York, after that famous home run, they expected me to be up there every year. That homer raised me to a high level, with the top guys in the game.
I'd get 3-4 cheap home runs every year. You know, little 'wood shots' down either line. They would be pop flies in any other park. But, goodness me, they didn't count the number of long outs!
