That corked bat incident of Sammy's will be forever etched in my brain.
He had an absolute cannon for an arm.
I saw Sammy when he was a White Sox play the Red Sox in Fenway and threw out a runner from the corner of right field on the warning track with a laser beam, clothes line pea to the get the runner at third base by a foot.
My jaw dropped in disbelief, I played plenty of ball, never in my life have I seen at throw like that.
