Grapefruit juice and batting myths from spring training
WHITNEY MARTIN reports on spring training chatter about players like Herman Webmeier and Stan Musial. Musial jokes about bunting, discusses his goal of a .550 average, while comments on Hank Greenberg, Jerry Lynch, Johnny Vandermeer, Hal Schumacher, Ted Kluszewski, Williams, and Stanky illustrate the talky camp culture. Musial notes he is a slow starter and relies on timing as Eddie Stanky allows him flexibility.
