Message: [QUOTE="Cowtown, post: 2000173, member: 2350"] A hitter surpassed only by Pete Rose IMHO, he is still the ultimate technician. He was a hitter's hitter when he played. Rose may have had better instincts, but Carew was smarter, adjusted better, and could hit darn near anything. Today, he'd eat the shift - if anyone was silly enough to play it against him. He was Willie Mosconi with a bat. [INDENT]Rod Carew, an international treasure who ranks as one of the greatest living hitters, underwent 13 hours of surgery Friday. Doctors gave the 71-year-old Hall of Famer a heart and kidney transplant at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and there's hope he will make a full recovery.[/INDENT] [URL='http://m.mlb.com/news/article/211522722/rod-carew-undergoes-heart-kidney-transplant/']Rod Carew undergoes heart, kidney transplant[/URL] [/QUOTE]
