Reply to "2022 Outfielder questions"

In 1999, our American National Team played the Japan National team in Cooperstown NEW York at the "Field of Dreams". Sam Fuld played in our Area Code games and Goodwill Series. Sam is from New Hampshire and later a Stanford grad and MLB player, now Phillies Executive.

Before the game, I mentioned the outstanding ability of the Japan players and the "fierce battle" ahead. Japan TV was filming this game to 40 million people. The Cooperstown outfield had no warning track and a brick wall.

In the 3rd inning, a Japan hitter hit a long line drive over Sam's head and at full speed he hit the wall and made the catch. I ran to the outfield and Sam's head was "bloody" from hitting the wall.

Together, we walked off and Sam said, "Bob you were right this is a fierce battle".

The amazing "6th Tool", is very difficult to measure. It needs to be exhibited.
