"Well I'd rather not express

ing to win. and I wouldn't want
to hurt any of them by being
quoted as saying this team Is
hotter than that team, don't you
see?",
Banked On Control
Queried about his beat delivery
Alexander immediately replied
that he didn't have any heat ball
"My heat delivery always came
through controlling the pitch that
t threw. Control la the greatest as-
set of n> pitcher. That and
knowing your hatter . If you
know that a hatter hita four out
