The Big STREAK
Continued from preceding page

for the good name of baseball.
During the winter of '48-49 l
underwent my much-publicized
heel operation. l don't know what
would have become of me if had
ever practiced Ty Cobb's custom
of winter-long training. Maybe
Cobb was afraid of gaining too
much weight, l don't know. As far
as I'm concerned, needed rest in
the winter and did what was best
for me.
The operation was not success
full. Not only was the ailing heel
worse, but now the right one had
joined in. 1t felt as if a nail was
stuck into it-only 20 times worse.
fIplayed, my heels would become
hot and swell up so couldn't
even get out of bed the next day.
That heel-torture year of l949
was one of the blacklist of my
career. Sixty days of the season
had gone by and i hadn't once
broken into the lineup. But one
morning, after missing half the
season, l got up out of bed and -
for no apparent reason - found
that my right heel felt much better.
The Yankees we're on the road.
Without telling Stengel anything
about it, l went out to the Sta
dunn one afternoon and asked the
clubhouse boys to pitch to me. l

empty ball park. / was as soft as

the season for us, had all could
do to walk. But with a brother in
pennant-scoring position, base
ball ethics required me to get in
there and do my best. Somebody
told me that Bill Veeck, whose
Indians were a few runs behind
out in Cleveland, listened to our
game on his office radio. When he
heard / was going to play, he said:
THE big Italiano will beat them"
l was hardly able to stand up.
But got four hits out of five
times up. On my last time at bat
for the season, l hit the left-field
wall for a single trying for my
fortieth home run. Bucky Harris
took pity and decided to send a
runner in for me. As soon as l left
first base, every Boston fan at
Fenway Park - and that means
everybody in the stands - stood
up and gave me one of the greatest
ovations of my life. l was playing
to beat them, but they appre-
ciated why. I didn't want any,
body to say, "Oh, Joe? Sore heel?
That's bunk. He's just got a
brother on the Red Sox, that's ALL"
More Than a Homer .
YES, that moment at Boston
probably meant more to me than
some of my clutch home runs. 1t
wasn't just Joe DiMaggio smuggling
away for his and his teams glory
that day. You might say it was

that l could run around the bases
without caving in from pain.
The team needed all the help it
could get at that moment. We
were in first place but slipping
badly. The Boston Red Sox were
breathing down our necks. They
had just COPIED eight straight.
Now the Yanks were coming into
Boston for a series, and this was
their chance to knock us off.
Casey Plays a Hunch
l DECIDED to hot-foot it - and
mean hot foot to Fenway
Park. Nobody, including Stengel,
thought Id play. Its up to Joe,"
he told the newspapermen who
crowded into the clubhouse be-
fore the opening game.
About 10 minutes before game
time l surprised Casey by telling
him l was ready. The announce
ment didn't cause too much glee
because everybody thought it
would take at least two weeks be-
fore my hitting eye came back. But
Fenway Park has a friendly left
field wall and Stengel played the
bunch that might get r. I'D of one.
