would never grow up. The bleacherites

he continued TO pull off Chase double
plays and grab impossible pegs at first
base, he was good enough to fill the
bill and slop over u bit on the side.
There wasn't a first baseman anywhere
who could show him up; it isn't on
record that any first baseman ever
tried. But Chase as a team captain?
