Campus Connection: No-Neck Williams
On the base paths, Walt "No-Neck" Williams was a better thief than Vicenzo Peruggia, his glove was more reliable than O.J.’s and he could swing just like JFK, the way I once recalled things. Check out the dude to the right. This guy was a big part of my childhood.
Most of the kids in my sixth-grade science class were discovering rock formations, ecosystems, space travel, Newton’s Laws and the periodic table.
Me? No way were those academic pursuits ever going to penetrate my 12-year-old brain.
Space travel? I could at least relate to that having done quite a bit of it back in the day.
