Allison Gives Confidence As Key To Success
Washington Senators rookie outfielder Bob Allison has become a major leaguer with his team since 1955. The 24 year old, once a .246 hitter, credits confidence for his rise, saying relaxation at the plate and waiting on the pitcher helped him relax swing naturally. He improved during a return to Chattanooga last year, batting .307 with 93 runs driven in.
