Johnstone insists on having a little fun on field
Phillies right fielder Jay Johnstone argues that baseball needs fun alongside seriousness. The 12th season veteran, hitting .320, recalls Jimmy Piersall’s lessons about staying visible in the press, and describes clubhouse pranks with teammates like Larry Bowa Tim McCarver and Tommy Hutton. He aims for 1 000 career hits and notes a knee injury cost him four or five hits last year.
