His 'third base stories' became legendary in the baseball community as he was able to change the flow of many games just by being on third base.

It was both funny and a little embarrassing for him, but it's a story that has been told many times in baseball circles.
There is a story about a baseball stadium that was haunted. The players on the home team always felt a strange presence during their games.
