Topic: Willie Wilson (baseball player)

	World Almanac for Kids
		Baseball is played on a level field, usually about 2 acres (about 0.8 ha) in size, divided into the infield and the outfield.
		Players who have reached a base may still be forced out; for example, when a runner on first is forced to run for second to make way for a batter who has hit the ball along the ground.
		In setting up the batting order, the manager considers the important playing strengths of each player on the team (one player may be a particularly fast runner; another, a powerful hitter; a third, a dependable bunter) and arranges their sequence of batting to reflect the highest probability of players advancing each other to scoring position.

		There was nothing more exciting than watching Wilson glide around the bases for one of his many triples: he led the AL in that category five times.
		Wilson batted.357 from the left-side and.292 from the right-side (which was his natural side)...
		The obvious answer is power, but Wilson was also impatient at the plate, and he had even worse pop from the right side than the left.

	MLB Commissioner Bowie Kuhn
		After the William Eckert debacle, it was highly incumbent upon the major league baseball owners to make the correct decision regarding the appointment of the next commissioner.
		Although some considered his efforts at dealing with the problem to be watered-down, ineffective, and somewhat vague, it cannot be denied that Kuhn's attempts to bring the problem under control would serve as the baseline for subsequent efforts, on the part of his successors, to maintain the integrity and image of the game.
