Escape from Mudville?
My sister, Ellen, was at the world series opener the other night. It's
a beautiful thing. My niece and nephew are conflicted, their
mother, my sister Ann, is a Red Sox fan. Their father, who is from
Utica, is a Yankee's fan. They are trying very hard to be noncommital. My father lived in St. Louis until he
was 12 then moved to Boston. He's good either way (even if in his day
ball players always hit the cut off man and never threw balls into the
dug out). I have no conflicts. At the same time a squad of
millionaires doesn't really carry the aspirations of the common man on
its back. I got Ring Lardner for that.
