one else apparently or the never would have been able to' cover him up as they did They sent him to Daytona Beach in 1963 and the orders were that he was not to be used in a game thereby keeping him out of the first year draft Was Profitable he said go to the ballpark with a catcher and pitch At night sit in the bullpen during the game and talk to the mosquitoes But I have to admit thatl it was a profitable experience Bill Posedel visited regularly! and taught me how to throw a curve and a change up Since been with the Athletics additional polishing has been given me by Dark and his pitch- ing coach Cot Deal manager at Daytona i Beach was Bobby Hoffman and he begged the front office for permission to use me but he was refused The only time I got on the field was when a free-for-all broke out in Miami I rushed in from the bullpen Someone bumped me and I threw him to the ground Then I ran away The guy thrown down was our own first Nash has unusual poise for a 21-year-old He also has unusual control of his big pitch a rising fast ball as well as his newly developed curve and change up He already has started to work on a knuckler and a screwball ominous news for!
