In Aaron's book "I Got a Hammer" he relates that the 1955 Willie's Mays travel team may have been the best in baseball. Our 3b played "short LF"!

He was not going to get any closer to the hitters. No one needed a radar gun to determine "bat speed". The "sound" of the bat. Final score 6-2 and 5,000 spectators.
