San Diego:

When Willie and myself discussed hitting, his memory was outstanding. During his years with the Giants, Willie often directed the infielders where to play as he had analyze the hitter's stance, position of their hands, feet, eyes, shoulders and he knew his pitcher. After a few years, Alvin Dark allowed Willie to help the pitchers read hitters.

When Bob Gibson pitched all hitter knew not to crowd the plate or "dig in". Willie forgot who was pitching as always started to "dig a hole" with his right foot, then looked up with the stark realization as to who was pitching.

Willie look up and started to cover up the hole and his expression said "sorry Bob".

The "inside" game.
