...worst mark ever. In the era of the spitball he led the league in hitting a dozen seasons, and went over .400 three times. His lifetime batting average was .367. No one has ever equaled his bat control: in 1926, when he hit .339, he struck out twice...
Although it has one-third more manpower than NATO, and twice as much armor and artillery, the pact is evidently under considerable strain. When the signatory nations met last April in Warsaw to formally renew the alliance for 20 more years, Nicolae Ceausescu of Rumania let it be known that he favored an extension of only five years. Many East Europeans view the 535,000 uniformed Soviet soldiers stationed in their countries as an army of occupation.

A tip from an old high school teammate is the delightful explanation for his resurrection from journeyman to 21-game winner, though the expanse of the Busch Stadium outfield, not to mention the outfielders themselves, must have had something to do with it. No matter how splendidly he pitches, Tudor seems to have difficulty enjoying it. While Landrum kept singing, "Boy, you should have seen the dugout vibrating; something...
