“a pic of Killebrew on the back page of the Daily News. It showed him doing a split at first base to reach a low throw. Absolutely amazing..he looked like a ballet dancer..was completely flush with the ground”
As I recall, he did that in an All-Star game, and injured himself in the process.
He was one of my boyhood heroes.
Wow..you’re right. Great recall..I remember that now..
I belive it was the 1968 All Star game from the Houston Astrodome.
