I met Mizell when he was in Congress from North Carolina and lived in Alexandria area. His son was on my Legion team in mid 1970's. He might be her possible grandfather / great grandfather. After Congress we heard he went back to North Carolina. Neat story, Mizell noticed I was struggling with my pickoff move to first. I was a lefty just like he was. He asked me if he could show me some tips. Main tip, umps didn't have clue how to call the balk against lefties. He said keep upper body square to first and my legs could almost go straight to home as long as my leg/foot didn't cross the rubber. I used this move from then on, no balks and picked off 1/2 guys at first. ** Edited by 1980VT at 4/16/2026, 5:05:11 PM ** Edited by 1980VT at 4/16/2026, 5:07:22 PM
