Rance Mulliniks -- The Man
by Barry Yount (Winnipeg)
I recall a day in July 1991 when the Jays were hosting the Rangers. Nolan Ryan was beating up on the Jays batters. As the camera panned into Rance Mulliniks, I saw him mouth the words "keep it straight" to Ryan. Whether or not Ryan heard him was pointless, as Rance spanked a double off the wall, punctuated by a stand-up slide into second.
