HOF 1971
I got along with him fine. He only suspended me once, for two weeks. It was on account of I socked him. Well, I didn't really sock him. It was more of a push. I pushed him, sort of, and he fell down the dugout steps. Well maybe it was a sock at that. I'm not sure now. After all, it took place about 60 years ago. What happened was that I missed a sign. It wasn't my fault, it really wasn't. When I got back to the dugout he called me a lot of names and so I hit him. He suspended me for two weeks without pay, but once it was over he forgot about it completely. Never mentioned it again.

The beauty of first-ball, fastball hitting (and not just in the first at-bat) is that it eliminates the pitcher's strategy in the at-bat. You step in, get a good swing on a good pitch, put the ball in play, and your chances are reasonable. The guy can't fool around with you for three or four pitches. Those pitches may put you ahead in the count, but they may also put you behind. The whole idea of working the count is to see a fastball in a good location (the hanging curve is perfectly acceptable, too). But if you see this good pitch to hit as the first offering, go to hacking! No use waiting!
