Bill Tilden.
1:11:05
Yes, Harry,
1:11:06
we're going to remember all the
wonderful things you did for baseball.

1:11:10
Exploding scoreboards
1:11:12
double-knit uniforms.
1:11:15
It's true, Harry,
1:11:17
some people criticize you for
introducing separate admissions

1:11:21
to each half
of a double-header

1:11:24
but I'd say that's nonsense.
1:11:26
Throughout history, all great
innovators were never really appreciated

1:11:31
until they were dead.
1:11:33
You're dead now, Harry.
1:11:35
We appreciate it.
1:11:38
I think my favourite
memory of Harry

1:11:41
is sitting in his box during
a twilight double-header.

1:11:44
And him turning
to me and saying:

1:11:46
"Amos,
1:11:48
"every time the umpire bends
over to dust off home plate,

1:11:53
I'd like them
to see my face. "

1:12:04
Harry,
we'll never forget you.

1:12:09
This was idiotic,
Willoughby dragging us here.

1:12:12
It’s not gonna
stop her from suing.

1:12:17
What’s the matter,
didn’t you enjoy the funeral?

1:12:19
I was just thinking about Ann.
1:12:22
You should’ve
brought her here.

1:12:24
It’s a great date.
1:12:26
I think we’re beyond
the dating stage.

1:12:29
What?
It’s making you uptight?

1:12:31
No. Atkinson’s
a fabulous woman. Fabulous.

1:12:36
But?
But it was so quick.

1:12:39
I wanted a lot of women,
I got one.

1:12:43
I wanted somebody young,
I got somebody not so young.

1:12:45
I wanted somebody tractable, I got
somebody noisy, spiky, stubborn,

1:12:49
opinionated,
and just plain impossible.

1:12:51
My heart
bleeds for you.

1:12:53
Yeah, Atkinson’s
somebody special,

1:12:55
but I’m gonna keep wondering
about all those other women.

1:12:58
Don’t you see?
It’s just not fair to Ann.
