He owned the spot. He pawed like a stallion getting ready to run a race; got himself set; glared at the pitcher; and dared the bloke to throw a pitch. A hit could sometimes seem to be anticlimactic following his entrance into his preferred domain.

The great lady took me to his last game! Eyewitness to #521.
Raised by an Iwo Jima Marine, Ted was the other great Marine and role model to me in my life.
