Fascinating! And the weiter Tom Wolfe, who died just recently, was invited to try out for the NY Giants. He had lots of nifty breaking pitches, but no fastball to speak of, and the Giants sent him packing.

Is this really true, or is it another ‘metaphor’?
Fascinating, if the real deal. Most men are never even considered for top level sports. Every boy’s dream at one time or another.

those who follow another institution, baseball, their voices judged unworthy of being heard

If only. George Will, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Ken Burns.

I’m a fan of the Nationals Yankees and Indians and baseball generally. I’m disappointed that President Trump did not throw out a first pitch at Nationals Park.

In a city that went 90% for Mrs. Clinton I suppose it would be a hostile crowd. The other side never has to worry about crap like that.

Kudos to President Trump who decided to pursue a life of employment rather than the glamor of professional baseball.

I play senior softball with a couple of guys who signed contracts out of college. Chuck was signed by Baltimore out of a community college here in Michigan as a pitcher and spent two years in the minors before being released.

Al was signed by Kansas City after starring with the University of Michigan and played two years in their farm system before being released..........
