[O.B.Left]

Ben Doyle told me that Hogan's brother, Royal, had a swing just like him.

Royal was a outstanding amatuer. Bet he had good geometric impact also.

I also never realized Hogan's dad shot himself in the chest with a shotgun, when Ben was a child. Perhaps thats where he developed that steely perseverance.
