Pennsylvania TedI am sorry my dear, all this legal "mumbo-jumbo" would put me to sleep (or at least have me yawning).
I think you would better hold the interest of your audience if you follow Frank Wakefield's suggestion....
talk about famous BB figures who were schooled as lawyers. Or, at least throw this into the "mix".
Starting with Miller Huggins, who in my opinion was the most successful lawyer in the BB scene. He was
a very scrappy ballplayer, who was a very effective lead-off batter. He was an innovative base-stealer
and had a great glove.
More important, though, was his impact on the BB scene when he came to the NY Yankees. He, not only
started out as their Manager; but, also as their chief scout. How many know this......it was Huggins' eye
for talent that brought Babe Ruth to New York in 1919.
And, the rest is BB history.
