When Johnny Mize played with the Giants, he wouldn't or couldn't bend down to catch a ball. In fact, he refused to field anything not hit straight back at him.
This moved the humorist, Goodman Ace, to wire Manager Leo Durocher: "Sir, before each game an announcement is made that anyone interfering with or touching a batted ball will be ejected from the park. Please advise Mr. Mize that this doesn't refer to him."
