Show Vance Explains Theory of Many Weak Hitters Why are some weak hitters dangerous dan-gerous in a pinch? Dazzy Vance, the star Brooklyn right-hander, has this theory on the question. And that theory Is worth mulling over. v "I believe the average .300 bitter has normal eyesight and the average .250 hitter has subnormal eyesight," be says. "But under the stress of excitement, or rather in a pinch, the pupils of the eyes of the .250 hitter dilate and more light is permitted to enter and the result is that he sees better. "When the visibility of these supposedly sup-posedly weak hitters increases, they bang out the base raps that drivt in the w'lnning runs." 5 |
