"Before a doubleheader at Braves Field between the Boston Braves and the Chicago Cubs on May XX 1948 Norman Rockwell approached both teams with the intention of creating a portrait of a visiting team's dejection in contrast elation of hometown fans. A number of Cubs players and Mgr. Charlie Grimm agreed to pose in the dugout to be photographed. As spectators filled the stands Rockwell handpicked a number of them and instructed them to mimic expressions of delight or scorn. Additionally a bat boy for the Braves Frank McNulty had to be convinced to pose in a Cubs jersey in front of the dugout."

"Dear Jay: There are a few things I think are all-important to anyone no matter how much ability a fellow has no matter what style he has and without ever seeing you I know this is good solid advice. It is impossible for me to say anything about your swing or how I might help you in this respect so I am just going to outline what I consider"

""In 1995 the Yankees dedicated to Mickey Mantle the fourth monument in the history of the Stadium. That was a big day at the ballpark an emotional day -- the Mick had just died -- and of course Joe DiMaggio had to show up. Joe resented that. When had Mantle ever showed up for him But what really griped him wasn't Mickey's monument in left center field. He'd been offered a monument but turned it down. He complained: Were they trying to bury him already No what set Joe to seething was the special ball they used in that day's game. It was a regulation Rawlings game-ready 'Mickey Mantle"

""I saw was Al Kaline. I looked across room and there was Brooks Robinson and Elston Howard. I was just 23-year old kid. I was in awe. I see Willie Mays and Roberto Clemente.

""Were playing the Yankees in spring training. Mickey Mantles on first Im playing third. One of the Yankees hits a rope to right center. Now here comes Mantle hes heading for third right for me. I can see its going to be close. Theres a huge swirl of dust. The umpires right in there with us. When the dust finally settles the ump looks down at both of us sprawled on the ground and shakes his head. Ive never smelled so much booze in my life he tells me and Mantle. Get off your asses before you set each other on fire." Dick Allen"
