As a kid I saw him pitch for St Louis in 1964 and 1965. He was left handed, as was I. I recall trying to imitate his pitching motion, the way he hitched that right leg after lifting it, reminded me of cocking a rifle, then he'd stride forward and throw. In my 8 year old brain, I had it down perfectly.
I can recall images, sounds, and plays from some of those old ball games. Vividly. And if I can do that, why can't I keep up with my car keys better? Both Aaron and Musial each separately listed Simmons as the toughest pitcher they had to face. I mimicked his motion so well (in my mind) that Hank and Stan might have had a tough time hitting me, too (from laughing).
