Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Thanks. I'll be breaking out the Ken Burns Baseball tapes today....<br /><br />“In our sundown perambulations of late through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing ‘base,’ a certain game of ball...Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms...the game of ball is glorious.” -- Walt Whitman, 1846

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Why is there a football at the 1:38 mark ? (kidding) <br /><br />Edited to add:<br /><br /><br /><br />Isn't the music a bit over the Top? Is that what Ty Cobb would have listened to?<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Chris Counts</b><p>Brian,<br /><br />Thanks for the link ... I loved it, sappy music and all. And Dan, that quote from Walt Whitman is wonderful. But what the heck does "perambulations" mean? The best I can tell is it's an early version of "ramblings."<br /><br />
