COMMUNICATION AND TRUST

"Whenever the center fielder would say 'I got a ball,' we'd say 'Take it,'" Enos Slaughter recalled, adding: "We listened to Terry Moore, (Stan) Musial and I both.  I know in St. Louis, myself, every time a ball was hit up against a screen, I'd go to the wall and when I heard 'careful,' I knew I was close and when I heard 'plenty room,' I knew I could go all out.  And that's one thing about Terry Moore.  To me I think he's one of the greatest defensive center fielders I ever played with, bar none.  And I think Musial listened to him a lot in playing left field."
