Mark Fidrych became an instant national celebrity beating the Yankees 5-1 on National television on June 28, 1976 with his antics on the field. He would crouch down on the pitcher's mound and pat down cleat marks, what became known as "manicuring the mound". He would talk to himself, talk to the ball, aim the ball like a dart, strut around the mound after every out, and throw back balls that "had hits in them," If his team made a good play behind him, Mark Fidrych would run up to them as they came off the field and shake their hand vigorously.
