:02:00
you just gotta relax
and concentrate.
:02:03
Besides, l'd never sleep
with a player hitting under 250...
:02:06
unless he had a lot of RBl's or was
a great glove man up the middle.
:02:13
You see, there's a certain amount
of life wisdom l give these boys.
:02:16
l can expand their minds.
:02:18
Sometimes when l've got
a ballplayer alone...
:02:20
l'll just read Emily Dickinson
or Walt Whitman to him.
:02:24
And the guys are so sweet,
they always stay and listen.
:02:27
Of course, a guy will listen
to anything if he thinks it's foreplay.
:02:32
l make them feel confident,
and they make me feel safe...
:02:36
and pretty.
:02:38
Of course, what l give them
lasts a lifetime.
:02:41
What they give me
lasts 142 games.
:02:44
Sometimes it seems
like a bad trade...
:02:47
but bad trades
is a part of baseball.
:02:49
Who can forget Frank Robinson
for Milt Pappas, for God's sake?
:02:53
lt's a long season,
and you gotta trust it.
:02:56
l've tried 'em all,
l really have.
:02:58
And the only church
that truly feeds the soul--
:03:01
day in, day out--
is the Church of Baseball.
:03:39
Hey, Skip, that Max,
hell of a guy.
:03:43
Where's Ebby?
:03:44
Ain't he warming up yet?
:03:46
No. His professional debut tonight,
and he forgets about it.
:03:49
Better find our "bonus baby."
:03:52
Have you seen Ebby?
:03:53
No.
