Behind the award
Yeager shared the 1981 World Series Most Valuable Player award with Pedro Guerrero and Ron Cey, and his Game 5 home run off Ron Guidry was the game-winner.
Getting ready for a role
When knuckleballer Charlie Hough pitched, Yeager used a special enlarged catcher's mitt held cupped with the palm up instead of the normal upright target position.
Own stunts
During a game shown across the country, a radar gun that was there to clock pitches measured Yeager's throw from a crouch to second base at 98 mph.
