Baseball fans, quit playing games
Once upon a time, back in the Big Town, John Q. Public
and his two sons, Jimmy and Joey Public, were getting
ready to go to the ballpark. Now Mr. Publie was an
honest.liardworking man who loved baseball. He also
liked to go to baseball games well-prepared. So he
checked with his sons to see if they had everything.
"Got the picnic lunch, Joey?"
Joey gave the affirmative.
"11-w about your gloves, for catching foul balls?"
"Yep j got those, Dad." This from Jimmy.
"And how about our bag full of trash?"
— Yes sir'" the sons chorused.
"Good," said their father. - We've got seats right near
third base, so we can hit either the third base or home
plate umpire. Also, if the other team's, third baseman
gives us any trouble. we can get him. And with your arm

Pete Rose!
Now I'm not sure what I think of Pete Rose myself, but
I'll be a horse's tail if my bouncing cans off his head wciuld
make any great improvments on the situation. If thei;e's
one thing that seems to be disturbing fans these days, it's
the manner in which their beloved stars are holding out
for more money each year, trying to get it while they can.
But it's getting damn hard to blame the players the way
the fans are shaving time off theirlife expectancies.
The citizens of Pittsburgh had a lovely evening two
nights ago when their darling• Pirates clinched the
National League East title in a dramatic, come-from
behind fashion. But what had to be one of the most ex
citing games in an outstanding pennant race was stifled
on several occasions when the spectators could no longer

maintain their passive roles.
Umpires' -calls and events that , in general didn't
facilitate the Buccos' going prompted these actions,
which reached a peak in the ninth inning when somebody
didn't miss Chicago's Jose Cardenal by much.
The Cubs walked off the field and it took repeated
public announcements and an appeaiance by Pittsburgh
manager Danny Murtaugh to calm tie fans down. They
were having "so much fun. They• nearly threw their
division title away.
Long, long aog, man was a tired.and tense guy. I mean,
if you had to chase your food and your wike around all the
time, you'd be tired and tense too. Anywa, as a means of
releif and relaxation, he invented games.
Man's come a long way, but he's still tired and tense a
lot of the time. So he continues to lean on those games for
diversion. But now, there are those who play the games so
well they get paid to do so, while the less fourtunate must
learn to relax by watching them.
The point of essence here is that those who are playing
for pay have become bona fide entertainers. But look at
man's other ' forms of entertainment.: Does he throw a
bottle at the television if he doesn't like the show, or at the
deer that he missed with his rifle? Would it help?
Now the Pirates must play the Los Angeles Dodgers for
the NL championship, and here's hoping that everyone on
the field has lots of insurance. And people wonder why
baseball players are wearing batting helme6 m' he field.
Oh yeah, all you jolly souls that threw oranges out at
Beaver Stadium last year better wake up too. By the way,
what do you think you'll throw this year?
