He considered going nuts in his rookie season the best thing that ever happened to him due to the publicity.
He would take bows after making a catch.
He fought Billy Martin before a 1952 game.
He made pig noises at Satchel Paige, which led to Paige beaning him with pitches.

He once threw an orange at Comiskey Park's exploding scoreboard.
He was often fired from later work because of his inappropriate comments.
