Sammy Byrd

He doesn't actually get in the batting cage much anymore, Stan, but Ralph stays in pretty good shape.

He's an outstanding golfer, way above average, and he plays quite a bit of tennis.

So, uh, in answer to your question, uh, he stays pretty active.

I was amazed so many of these fellas are in good shape down there in the locker r- oh, they're feeding him.

They love golf in the off-season, but very few have ever become as good at the game of golf as Ralph Terry.

I think that's right.

I was thinking, uh, when you were mentioning the fact that he's a good golfer, Sammy Byrd, they used to call him, uh, Babe Ruth's caddy because in the ninth inning, when the Yankees were ahead, Babe would sit down and, and, uh, Byrd, who was very fast, would, uh, go in and, uh, finish up for him

himHe became a pro, a golf pro, but he never won any, uh, big tournaments.

...

so the guy, Sammy Byrd, uh, he played for the Yankees, and his nickname i- was Babe Ruth's Legs because he w- [laughs] because he was a common defensive replacement and pinch runner for Babe Ruth.

So Babe Ruth would get on base, and then this guy would run for him.

So then therefore, his nickname was Babe Ruth's Legs.
