    He is divorced.
    He had his own cartoon special in which he is given the ability to make his famed catch if he becomes the godfather of an orphan girl.
    He has his wife sign autographs for him.

    The over-the-shoulder catch he made off Vic Wertz in the 1954 World Series is considered one of the greatest moments in sports history.
