I always had a distinct hate for the Dodgers myself. Most of the guys were banty rooster types, "We're the Dodgers" types...(Pee Wee) Reese was a hell of a ball player, great ball player, but he was one of the best agitators in the world. And Gene Mauch, he was one of those little banty roosters, too. Mauch was just like all those other little guys. There are very few tiny men in sports that aren't cocky as hell or tough as hell, one or the other.

Hank Aaron and Willie Mays and I talk about it all the time. Sammy is the most prolific power hitter we have ever seen. His balance and power and technique and ability to hit the ball to all fields...he is an amazing hitter.
