My first baseman is George "Catfish" Metkovich from our 1952 Pittsburgh Pirates
team, which lost 112 games. After a terrible series against the New York Giants,
in which our center fielder made three throwing errors and let two balls get
through his legs, manager Billy Meyer pleaded, "Can somebody think of something
to help us win a game?" "I'd like to make a suggestion," Metkovich said. "On any
ball hit to center field, let's just let it roll to see if it might go foul."
