I spent a fun rain delay in a press box dining room years ago with Robin Roberts, Dallas Green, Former Dodgers GM Ned Colletti and others. The stories flowed.
One I recall from Roberts about Simmons is that he, Simmons, used to tantalize Hank Aaron with a real slow curve ball that he could never hit supposedly. One day Aaron tried to go out and get the curve, hit a home run to right field but was called out by the umpire for stepping out of the batter box. So, Curt kept Hank from 756 Home Runs!
