Remembering Teddy Ballgame
"My favorite baseball memory is the time Ted Williams hit two home runs, in one game, off me.
"After the game, Williams put a hand on my shoulder and said, 'Connie, today was my day.'
"And I told him, 'What do you mean?
"Every day is your day, pal.'"
Connie Marrero, at age 100, MLB All-Star.
"Another time Connie asked Ted Williams to sign a ball that Marrero had earlier fanned him with.
"Ted Williams grudgingly did.
"Same day, Ted Williams crushed a Connie Marrero curve into the grandstands, and as he was rounding 3rd yelled to Connie:
"Why don’t you see if you can find that one, and I’ll sign IT for you too!”
