In the batter's box, The Nervous Greek would, at times, put his right hand in his
back pocket and swing the bat with his left until the pitcher delivered. Considered
a colorful, carousing goofball, Skizas was described by Mickey Mantle as a "hippie
from the streets and alleys of Chicago who had a girl under his arm before and after
every game."
