"...Maybe this is just
A beautiful dream!
I'm in a bad state of shock!
I'd like to know
Just how the hell it happened
What we did right!
Fellas, the whole thing is cockeyed!
We got a winner at last...
We got a star that is in the ascendant!...
This is a guy who is going to go further than anyone ever expected!...
We got a winner at last..."

ReplyDeleteSo far so good!
ReplyDeleteThis is much, much better. And Jones is sticking where the poor Martian didn't. Maybe because he can field and throws to the right base and hit.
ReplyDeleteLombard is a breath of fresh air. A SS who can reach first with his throws. What a concept.
Liked his footwork.
ReplyDelete"How it happened, " Hoss, is we didn't trade him for some former star. But there is only one of him. No where in our entire farm system lurks there another of his caliber. He will take over from Judge, who is now fading out the age door. He is enough to induce watching their games, but not nearly enough to win anything.
