There is a wonderful story about Orel Hershiser, the great Dodger pitcher. He was a born‑again Christian who passed out autographed Bibles to team mates and others. His feat of consecutive scoreless innings pitched is always referred to a couple of times during every World Series.

After the World Series in which he set the record he was a guest on the Johnny Carson Show. Carson said to him, “I was watching you during the games, between innings. You were by yourself but your lips were moving. Who were you talking to?”

Orel replied, “I wasn’t talking. I was singing.”

“What were you singing?”

“I was singing the Doxology.”

Johnny called out to Doc Severson: “Hey, Doc, do we know that?”

On national television Orel sang: “Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! ”
