Mazeroski says he cannot survive on one home run and will need more production to earn a living in baseball. The Pirates second baseman recalls his World Series-winning shot against the Yankees, notes he hit 13 homers last season including the Series, and doubts he is a pure power hitter. He mentions a modest winter, banquet fatigue, and his aim to maintain steady hitting rather than chase long balls.
