Everyone on this line can blow me away in sports trivia, but I came across this factoid in general reading. A pitching legend beginning a game in this hyper dramatic way was an absolutely arresting spectacle, so much so that I thought I'd share it with the board. I looked for an old newsreel of the entrance, which gives some hint to the era I'm discussing, but no one ever filmed it.
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
