Babe Ruth Full Length Portrait Standing Facing Slightly Left in Baseball Uniform civil war history was itself a small act

was itself a small act of defiance

and even the simplest tool was worth a draftsman's afternoon

drafted as the party tried to wrest itself back from Bryan's silver years and meet Roosevelt with the cool authority of the bench rather than the stump

when Johnson's fastball was already humming out of Washington and the Highlanders still patrolled Hilltop Park before they were ever called Yankees
