Great story, Mike....thanks for sharing it with us. If it's alright, I'd like to share my "Whiz Kid" story with you.
Growing up in the 1950's, my favorite NL player was Richie Ashburn. In 1990 at a BB card show, I had a nice conversation with Richie Ashburn. While he was signing this photo for me, I asked him if his 3.0 seconds to 1st base was the fastest of any player in the Major Leagues ? He responded: "No....Mickey Mantle (batting lefty) and I were clocked by the sports media every season, and we were both tied at 3.0 seconds, year after year." Then Richie and I continued talking BB trivia for about 20 minutes. Richie was a real 1st class gentleman.....and, a tremendous guy to talk with.  TED Z .
