The Most Important Thing That A Young

Baseball Was, Is And Always Will Be To Me The Best Game In The World.

Hotter 'n Hell, Ain't It, Prez?

You Know This Baseball Game Of Ours Comes Up From The Youth - That Means The Boys. And After You've Been A Boy, And Grow Up To Know How To Play Ball, Then You Come To The Boys You See Representing Themselves Today In Our National Pastime.

The Curve And The Fast One Are Important; The Change Of Pace And The Other Trick Deliveries Are Great But They're Not Worth A Plugged Nickel Unless You Have Control To Go Along With Them. And By Control I Don't Mean The Ability To Put The Ball Over The Plate Somewhere Between The Shoulders And Knees. I Mean The Ability To Hit A Three-inch Target Nine Times Out Of Ten, The Sort Of Control That Lets You Put The Ball In The Exact Spot You Want It, And To Play A Corner To The Split Fraction Of An Inch.

I Hit An Inside-the-park Home Run! I Beat It Out! Can You Believe That?
