Hard Hitting Tyro Eats His Way Out of Baseball League
New York April 8 A curio from baseball lore tells of Floyd Herman a youth with a bat weighing 56 ounces and a legendary appetite. He hit seven home runs last year yet the club measured his value by food needs and demanded a .300 average to move to Glendale. His batting slid as meals rose and a transportation deadline loomed before an apparent accident ended his season. At 18 he stands six feet tall and around 200 pounds with potential if appetite and form align.
