It is dangerous to spring to obvious conclusions about baseball or, for that matter, ball players. Baseball is not an obvious game.

Basketball, hockey and track meets are action heaped upon action, climax upon climax, until the onlooker's responses become deadened. Baseball is for the leisurely afternoons of summer and for the unchanging dreams.

I was showing early symptoms of becoming a professional baseball man. I was lying to the press.

Tennis and golf are best played, not watched.

Boxing is smoky halls and kidneys battered until they bleed.

Horse racing is animated roulette.
