Before departing for home, however, he
had the following to say:
I've got rotten ball club, but have
some good players. What / want is a
few others of major league caliber to
make up good team with those that are
up to standard. / can't tell where we will
finish next season. We may be in the first
four or we may wind up at the bottom
of the last four. don't believe in making
predictions. It's tough when a major
league club can't dispose Of players to
minor leaguers. Looks as if the men for
sale didn't amount to much"
Bresnahan's remarkable candor and
frankness was delightfully."- refreshing.
