This is a true story about one of the most beloved Yankees in my lifetime, Bobby Murcer. When he played outfield for the Cubs, he stashed 3 baseballs in the ivy in places he knew would be easy to find. During the game, if a ball was hit into the ivy, he'd just go to one of his stashed balls and throw it to the infield. He confided this to one of the Yankee broadcasters after he retired.
