Baseball hit skill differs from swing training says Dyer
In a New York round up Eddie Dyer argues major leaguers cannot be taught to hit by coaching technique alone. He cites hitting for extra bases at 30 percent and notes Marv Rackley as a case. The column also recalls Bobby Cruickshank’s 1934 Open shot, golf talk, upcoming fights, and brief notes on Heafner Palmer, Lonnie Cain, Jules Sikes, Lou Ferry, Whirlaway, and a biology line about capillary tubes.
