Consider our three heroes, Carl Yastrzemski, who now talks to Presidents, is the son of a Polish Long Island potato farmer. His father was a semi- pro shortstop, who never ad- vanced heyond the eighth grade in school. But Pop Yastrzemski delighted in seeing his son wind up at Notre Dame, the hig leagues and then, fest fall, on “Yaz, Sir, That’s My Baby” but- tons all over the New England landscape. Frank Robinson was born in Besumont, Texas, the last of ten children. His father was part owner of a funeral parlor and a grocery store. But, as Robinson tells it, “he wasn’t a real father to me.” (When Frank was four, the family moved to Qakland, California and he never saw his father again.)

But he thinks and feels like Durocher. “T hate all the fellows around the league who are wearing the other uniform,” he writes. “I’m | for hard-nosed, no-nonsense | baseball . . . it's all that really } matters to me.” There are many rewarding | and constructive “inside” tips for youngsters in these autobi- i } DKUWINGS SOUTHER!
