In baseball many big league mgrs. before a game they talk it over in the
club house with their men and disgust the weakness of the other club and
how is the best way to beat them and etc. For inst. when I was pitching
for the White Sox and suppose we was going to face a pitcher that maybe he
was weak on fielding bunts so before the game Mgr. Rowland would say to us
"Remember boys this baby so and so gets the rabbis if you lay down bunts
on him." So we would begin laying them down on him and the first thing you
know he would be frothing at the mouth and triping all over himself and
maybe if he did finely get a hold of the ball he would throw it into the
Southren League or somewheres and before the other mgr. could get another
bird warmed up they would half to hire a crossing policeman to straiten out
the jam at the plate.
