To the editors:
I would like to correct an alleged correction in a letter to the editor (April 3). "Hit 'em where they ain't" is inaccurately attributed to the wrong Baseball Hall of Famer with "Wee" in his nick-name, Pee Wee Reese. The quote is actually part of a piece of sage advice provided by the turn of the century outfielder, "Wee" Willie Keeler. When asked about his hitting approach, the 5-foot, 4-inch Keeler, who still shares the National League record with hits in 44 consecutive games, said "Keep your eye on the ball, and hit `em where they ain't." Pee Wee Reese fans need take no umbrage at The Crimson's original error. SCOTT SINGER '98 April 4, 1998
