Rod Carew

You pull up at the function and you know I Kojak
To all the party people that are on my Bozac
I've got more action than my man, John Woo
And I've got mad hits like I was Rod Carew

Thanks for sharing. I have a bunch of his baseball cards from the early 70's. Great player.

"We just got better."
Remember reading about how good he was. If he saw a short stop or second baseman shift to his left three steps Carew would hit it to his right just a couple steps where the fielder couldn’t get it.

And later in the game….if they didn’t shift….. he would it to where they shifted before.

Hard to believe someone would be that good but opposing players swear he did so.
 
When I saw the title of the thread I thought it was going to be that other thing, the unpleasant. Glad it was a happy story.

Rod was a fantastic hitter. He could probably still go out there and hit about .270. (I'm exaggerating of course, but Rod deserves the compliment.)
