- <p> DIED. Joe Sewell, 91, Hall of Fame infielder who struck out
- only 114 times during a 14-year major-league career with the
- Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees; in Mobile. As a child,
- Sewell honed his batting skills by slapping rocks in the air
- with a broomstick. No other hitter who swung as often--he
- amassed 2,226 hits in 7,132 at bats for a .312 career average--struck out fewer times.
