My dad, “Mutt” Mantle is a father to me, sometimes more like a good judge of talent—“故选A”

He was about baseball. He made his living working in mines. But he played baseball in several town teams.

From the day I was born, Dad said he wanted me to make my living as baseball player. He named me Mickey a catcher he liked. He hoped I would play for the New York Yankees.

Dad often a toy baseball to my crib(摇篮). One day, . I caught one. Then he was sure that I’d be a ball player!

I learned about the on a ball field before I learned my ABC’s. When I was three, Dad had Mama make me little uniform. He liked to around town in it.

When I five, I started school. That same day, I had my first in switch-hitting(左右手都能击球)

Dad and Grandpa were in the yard when I came home from school. They had a small bat and two “Mickey,” said Dad, “ Grandpa and I have thought up at a new . Take this bat and try to hit our

pitches(投掷).I’m left-handed. When I throw, you swing right-handed you always have. Grandpa’s right-handed. When he throws, turn around and swing left-handed.”

Dad was going to make me a ! He knew that a player who can bat both right and left has a good of making hit.

That day I tried and tried. But I couldn’t swing left-handed. After about 15 minutes, I yelled to Mama for help. She said, “ I know it’s easy. But please try. , to make Dad happy.”

So, every day after school we had switch-hitting . After two weeks, I didn’t it any more. My were getting trained. I began to hit a few.

After a year or two, Dad and Grandpa began throwing as as they could. And they put real curves(曲线)on those tennis balls. Then as I grew older, they began to use baseball .

I hate nosy (爱管闲事的) neighbors and it’s very unlucky that I had one for myself. They moved in a couple of months back and although I never felt that they were a strange family, I’ve always hated the way they get “too close” to me, my house, my garden, and even my garbage cans.

One day, my neighbors were mowing their lawn (草坪). My garbage cans were near their lawn. For some strange reason, I found the wife looking through my garbage cans. I felt angry but since they were from a different culture, I thought that maybe it was “normal” from their ideas.

That afternoon, the couple knocked on my front door. When I opened, they gave me a plastic bag. Inside were my old daily bills, credit cards and bank statements, and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent. They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others.

I’ve heard of it before. I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their very own experience, which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us. The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills. They also had a “nosy neighbor” who looked through their garbage cans which they actually thought was pretty strange. Little did they know that this “nosy neighbor” was collecting their personal information from their rubbish. Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor.

It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave it all behind so they left. I was very thankful. They were not nosy neighbors. They simply didn’t want us to experience the same thing that they did.
