Skipper because you seem to specialize in frivolous subjects i thought perhaps you would be just the Man to write to concerning baseball. Specifically baseball needs a Friend almost As much As Jim Brown needs a new press agent. The sport to those who still Call it a sport and not the world s largest guaranteed sleeping Pill is being accused almost daily of a dullness and slowness worthy of a performance by King Kong As mystery guest on what s my line they re wrong they re All terribly wrong.

One Guy hit a Home run but it was the other team that had to do with the game being perfect. Whenever they were up absolutely nothing happened.
