To one of my wife’s late relatives who was apparently President of some fancy white dude club in town at the time called the Wayfarers Club. Header is simply “BASEBALL”

Have other related correspondence from people like Albert Einstein, Lorado Taft and Carl Sandburg.

You can’t argue balls and strikes on this league
It’s like talking to a giant man made of stone

I know, right! Every Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads, Caller of Strikes…they’re in Cahoots!

What do you want from me fellas? Robot umps?

Little-known fact: later became a judge. (Or maybe that was before... never mind.)
