some day and I think a lot OF
others would add a reverent
amen" to such a wish. All of
this, of course, provided Ossie de-
sires to continue on in the minor
phase of a game which he appears
able to grace for many more years
to come as a major.
There is something SYNONYMOUS
in the names Of Bluege and Jack
son, to me. Their characteristics
are alike. The positions they
have played are almost identical.
They broke into baseball at prac-
tically the same moment and each
has carried on down through the
years with the same team with
which he arrived under the main
top.
This approximate parallel also
embraces their rare personalities.
Their temperamentS are twins.
If either has ever been tossed out
of a baseball game for bursts of
emotions, I don't recall the oc-
caSion; yet, each has been a
Spiritful, hard player who got as
good results, and better, than the
majority Of men over long span
of years.
If there are any two quicker
minds in baseball; if there have
been any evener dispositions or
two better throwing arms in the
game since 1928 when their names
started to creep into the box
scores-I wish to know about it
immediately can always learn!
