Let there be joy in baseball again, like in the days when Babe Ruth chased an enemy sportswriter down the streets of Boston and ended up getting drunk with him on the waterfront and came back the next day munching on hotdogs and boomed homeruns to the glory of God.
~Jack Kerouac
I read somewhere how Kerouac played a baseball simulation game with cards that was very Strat-O-Matic-esque. Dude took his baseball seriously.
I’ve heard that, as well! I keep thinking one of these days I’ll do some research into how/what he actually did, but have yet to get around to it. Some day.
