Show "Como Se Llama" Was All ! Foreign to Burt Shotton This one still gets a laugh every time It Is told In El Faso, Texas. El Paso, being a border city, almost every one has a slight knowledge of Spanish, but it happened that Burt Shotton, now manager of the Phillies, was not op on his romance languages. Shotton was with the Cardinals at the time and was coaching at third base in an exhibition game. A new batter had taken his place at the plate as a pinch hitter. Some fan in the stands failed to catch the name so he called upon Shotton for the Information. "Como se llama!" yelled the fan, which in the best Spanish means, "What is the name?" Burt was always an accommodating fellow and he wanted to oblige thN fan. So turning' to the stands and cupping his hands at his mouth, he replied, "I haven't got any." It failed to answer the question, but It did provide pro-vide a good laugh. |
