In 1953,Carl Furillo of the Brooklyn Dodgers won the National League batting title sitting on the bench with a broken finger.
Two weeks before the end of the seasonBrooklyn had already clinched the pennant.Arch-rivals New York Giants were in sixth place and manager Leo Durocher was in a fouler mood than usual.
Furillo got drilled.He didn’t bother charging the mound.He knew who was responsible.He jumped into the Giants dugout and did his best to end the life ofLeo Durocher by the simple process of manual strangulation.And by all reports he was doing a swell job of it.
Giants players were apaprently worried they wouldn’t get paid if Leo died,so t hey pulled Furillo off and his fingergot broken.

“Tom Terrific” was Tom Seaver, Tank. They’ll have to give Brady a different moniker.
