Well, there was one girl I met in Nantucket, but I think she
was really from Connecticut, and anyway I was with someone at
the time.

 -> One site has him at 7 for 38 with a home run against Koufax;
 -> another, nutcan.com says that his lifetime in this matchup
 -> was .429. I believe nutcan.com is full of nuts.
 RH> I was working from memory, but even if the 7 for 38 is accurate that's

Google "demythologizing dubious memories" or just koufax uecker .429.
Apparently Tom Boswell made the story up (whether meanly or because
of a rare brain fart), and it took off. The career highlight that
Uecker bragged about was once getting an intentional walk off Koufax.

      Title: Marshmallow Easter Eggs
 Categories: Candies
   Servings: 26

           -Robbie Shelton
      2    Envelopes Unflavored
           -Gelatin
      2 tb -Cold Water
    1/2 c  -Boiling Water
      2 c  Sugar
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Vanilla
           Flour
    3/4 lb Chocolate for dipping
           Regal Icing

  Put gelatin in top of double boiler; add cold water.  When gelatin softens,
  add boiling water and stil well.  Add sugar and salt.  Put over boiling
  water and stir until sugar dissolves completely.

  Pour into large bowl of electric mixer and beat at high speed until misture
  is thick but not as stiff as beaten egg whites.  Add vanilla.

  Meanwhile, spread flour 2" deep in a large pan.  Push an egg (in shell)
  into the flour  at intervals, making hollow spaces in which to mold the
  marshmallow mixture.

  Drop marshmallow mixture into the flour molds.  Sprinkle flour lightly over
  top and put in cold place until set.  Remove mixture from one mold and you
  have a  half-egg.  Trim the flat side of marshmallow half-egg to make it
  even.  You can dip it in melted chocolate to cover and decorate with Regal
  Icing.

  Or you can put two halves together to make an egg, as follows:  Dip the
  rounded part of a half-egg in melted chocolate; set aside to cool, flat
  (uncoated) side down.  Trim flat side of second half-egg (to make it even),
  lift from mold and completely coat with chocolate.  Quickly press its flat
  side against the flat side of the cooled half-egg and you have a whole egg.
  The chocolate will hold it together.

  When chocolate-coated eggs are cool, trim with Regal Icing put through cake
  decorator tube.  Make ruffles around them to cover seam where the two
  halves join and to provide decoration.  Write names of children on their
  eggs with the icing, or decorate with tiny designs pressed through fine
  tips of a cake decorator tube.  Frosting my be left white or tinted in
  pastel colors.  Makes 13 eggs (or 26 half-eggs).
