ABSTRACT
Later in my career, I had a lot of arm trouble. I was older. Jackie was older. He played third base. One Saturday afternoon, an article in a newspaper carried a report by a New York Giant scout stating that we were too old. Jackie's too old; Campy's too old. It also said that Erskine can't win with the garbage that he's throwing. In the game that day, Jackie made a great stop on a ball hit by Willie Mays. It saved a game which turned out to be a no-hitter. After the game, Jackie rushed to the Giants' dugout. With his usual intensity, he took the article out of his back pocket. Pointing to the scout on the Giants' bench, he waved the article and shouted, "How about that garbage?"
