Twice in my long life as a baseball fan I have seen a line drive hit back at the pitcher, pitcher instinctively ducks, and the ball ended up a homer in Center Field. Frank Thomas was one, and Cargo was the other.
I see your humor. Frank Lane got the White Sox Billy Pierce, Nellie Fox, Minnie Minoso, and Sherm Lollar for next to nothing. Without Lane, Sox would have been right down there with St. Louis Browns.
