Bernie allen who is

The Mets were coming in the league in I thought the Twins had some good young players and the second baseman Billy Martin had some age. John — You only played 80 games and had at bats in the minors hitting. Bernie — I went to spring training thinking that I would start the season in Triple A. I played some good games and the Twins decided to keep me and released Billy Martin.

Billy taught me how to play second base. The Twins would have had to pay Billy quite a bit more than they would me. How did the Twins veterans treat you?

Bernie — The experience I gained by playing Big Ten football helped me in competing for a position in spring training. The veterans helped me a lot and treated me very well. As I said before, Billy Martin worked with me every day.

John — You had a great year in in your rookie season playing in games hitting. I think Topps named you to their All-Star Rookie team after that season. How would you describe your first season of major league baseball? Bernie — I was living a dream. Everybody helped me all year and I was enjoying my life, I was having fun. John — It turned out that your rookie season was your best season, at least statistically speaking, what happened in ?

Bernie — I was told I had to change my hitting stance. They wanted me to hit with more power and pull the ball. I hit the ball harder, but I kept hitting balls right at the fielders. That is why Tony Oliva still calls me a dumb hitter. John — In June of you were seriously injured torn knee ligaments in a play at second base when Don Zimmer slid into you as you were getting off a throw to first.

What do you remember about that day? Bernie — I remember that the infield grass in DC Stadium was high and slowed up ground balls. It was a hit and run. Chuck Hinton hit a ground ball to Zoilo, who gave me a lob throw. I stretched out like a first baseman to just get an out and Don Zimmer threw a cross-body block on me.

I lost my AC and my MC. I was carried off the field. John — During the Twins World Series season you only played in 39 games due to recurring knee pain.

What was going on with your knee that season? I broke my thumb in , also. John — From what I can see you did not play in the World Series, were you hurt or not on the roster or what happened? Did you get a World Series ring? Find out more at IMDbPro ». How Much Have You Seen?
