Athletics Card of the Day

Jim Robertson
My Favorite Baseball Memories by Jim Robertson: My biggest thrill in baseball was my first major league game. The best fielding play I've seen involved the 1949 Yankees. There was a ground ball to Phil Rizzuto in the hole. He flipped to Billy Johnson at second, who threw the runner out at first. The funniest incident in a game also involved Rizzuto, when he was caught in a run-down. My advice to youngsters: Play ball, don't watch it on TV. And to me, the most important part of baseball is pitching.
