  • Anonymous said: NOBODY , as long as Baseball exists, will EVER turn a Double-Play like MAZ did !! Strangely enough, we hear next to NOTHING of his great D'play partner, Mr. GENE ALLEY. They both posessed very under-rated range..and MAZ, in particular, was so SMOOTH, he glided to the ball-getting there before one realized. Maz had the throwing arm, as well, but he didn't need to show it often, since he had such a quick "Flip" throw to first. Gene's career, in comparison, was relatively short, and he had, reallly, just 3 or 4 decent seasons at the plate-once injuries plagued him all too often. Ol' #9 (& 14) were an absolute joy to watch - individually OR in TANDEM. I wish there more film clips of them in their PRIME- something the young fans (AND players) should be REQUIRED to watch !! 3:03PM 11/20/11
