So I'm in my new favorite used bookstore, Look Again at the corner of Alfred and King in Old Town, and I find a near-mint copy of
Bill James' New Historical Baseball Abstract, probably the best baseball book since Halberstam's
Summer of '49. So I thumb through it with my Dad on our way to Mitchey's (my baby brother's) baseball game, when I come across this gem:
"Grafitti Seenin a Baltimore Bathroom
First Handwriting: JESUS IS THE ANSWER
Second Handwriting: What is the question?
Third Handwriting: Who was Matty and Felipe's brother?"
Bottom of the third, And-Her at the plate, still 2-1, with 2 outs and Willie on.
Game notes pun idea: if the Nats lose, "Willie and the Poor Boys"...? Anyone? Anyone?!
