"Indians Wear Numbers
"Cleveland, Ohio, June 26 [1916] -"Cleveland American League players wore numbers on the sleeves of their uniforms in today's game with Chicago for the first time in the history of baseball, so far as is known. The numbers corresponded to similar numbers set opposite the players' names on the scorecards, so that all fans in the stands might easily identify the members of the home club." "It's not a sport. The players don't even get tired.""It's worth remembering, that under Steinbrenner we tend to operate on the theory that no one is unsignable.""Jolting Joe DiMaggio played in his spot in center field for four innings, before it was necessary to take him out of the game because of the great mob of fans which swarmed on the field for his autograph between innings.""Let me put it this way-if Mary Poppins played baseball, she'd have B. Robinson stenciled across the back of her uniform.""Man Bites Dog""Only the rigors of winter apparently can avail to put an end to the long season of base-ball. As far as outward indications serve as a guide, the interest of the people in the game itself is as wide-spread and as well sustained as in the height of the season, and possibly, if the managers could have their way, the approach of a settled period of cold weather would be made extremely remote and indefinite. The weather, however, is not to be put off, and the season for the base-ball player and the base-ball enthusiast-for whom, by-the-way, no appropriate term of designation has yet been invented-has practically come to an end, the final game in the League series having been played on Saturday. The last lingering contests of the Association nines will be determined this week.""Playing ball is among the very first of the `sports' of our early year . . . who has not played 'barnball' in his boyhood, `base' in his youth, and `wicket' in his manhood?""Say it ain't so, Joe."Damn John Jay! Damn every one that won't damn John Jay! Damn
every one that won't put lights in his windows and sit up all night
damning John Jay!Our knowledge of Johnson come to us solely and exclusively
through Boswell's spectacles...Not one man in a thousand...has ever
dipped into any single thing that Johnson wrote.
