And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Used to think I was pretty good catching. High school coach asked me to warm up one of his pitchers. Kid threw a fast ball right at my head. I barely got the glove up to deflect it over my head. "Fuck that"!
Abbot & Costello did a "Who's On First" skit using his last name. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteLooks more a side-hand pitch than the typical overhand.
ReplyDeleteWith a slight fade to the right. Feller was really on top of his game.
