[edit]

I was at a Mets game back in the 60's when Herbel was with the Giants. I used to get to the game early to watch batting practice and Herbel was on the sidelines playing pepper with 4 Giant infielders, among them Jim Davenport and Jose Pagan. I can't remember who else was playing. Anyway, they were trying to get Ron out, but he would bat every pitch back on a line drive to each of the four infielders in succession; one after the other, bamm, bamm, bamm, bamm, right at their chests, over and over again. They never did get him out. That was real bat control, and when I saw him do that, and there is no doubt that Ron was the worst hitter in Major League History, I realized just how tough Major League pitching is.
