One More Skip Caray Story
I hadn't heard this one till today.
Some years back Ryan Klesko played for the Braves. For a reason I can't remember, he was moved from first base to left field.
He was not a natural outfielder. Slow would be the operative word. Not experienced in judging ball trajectory would also be an accurate comment.
During a game he, or one of the announcers said "fly ball to left, always an adventure." Skip on another occasion said, when Klesko missed an easy fly, "Klesko is running the right route, they just need to get the ball to him."

The Braves moved Klesko because they already had Fred McGriff playing first base.
Just came back from a ball game. Astros vs. Giants. Pretty exciting. Coming home to find your lovely comment was nicer though. Thanks. And ironing at 5:20? Even I don't do that... ;-)
