It was impressive seeing him hit the ball, I knew he was a pitcher beforehand but then switched to the outfield. It was when he played for the Braves, even saw little Terry Pendleton standing on the cage watching batting practice for the Braves. Riggleman was the manager of the Nationals back then and he told my father in law to come down and he would get us on the field pre game, great experience. Same with Perlozzo when he managed the Orioles. I grew up with Sam’s son and 2 of Mazzone’s grandsons. His youngest grandson Nick could crush a baseball.
