is that Don Mueller is a good friend of mine. I used to rake his leaves every fall. He taught me a little bit about hitting, but I was never any good so even "Mandrake the Magician" couldn't help me out...

How'd he get good? He told me to practice hitting kernels of corn with a broomstick. Have someone toss the corn at you and try to whack it.

I stuck with it for about 30 minutes. It was too dang frustrating when I was 10. But if you can get good at it, then hitting a baseball should be no problem.

As far as I know, he is still alive and well in the St. Louis metro area.

Probably doesn't help much, but there you have it.
