Carew Aims For .400 The Ultimate Hitters Mind Game
New York AP Rod Carew, six time AL batting champion of the California Angels, claims if he faced himself he would walk him or throw center to disrupt fielders. He promotes his autobiography Carew, tours Manhattan ahead of teammates, and notes his thumb and wrist pain limit him after the All Star break. He believes hitting is a private game and insists no one can get him out when he is hot.
