My cousin writes there is one younger down there who is only 5’4”, the shortest Texas player ever to attract the Dodger scouts, but he will be as tall as Drysdale come Christmas, when he will be eight years old.

On his first time at the bat and just as the pitcher let go of the ball, ‘Ping’ leaped in the air and started to berate the umps eyesight. But the ump met Bing, nose to nose, and with a hangover smile repeated his call...BALL One...Mis¬ ter Bodie and listen ‘Ping’.
