Baseball Honesty and Yankee Parody in Mitch's Musings
Mitch Kelly of the Los Angeles Examiner extols baseball honesty while criticizing the Yankees for steering the pennant race toward a parade. He notes owners pursue money and pennants, and contrasts college football’s semi pro nature with baseball ethics. The column recalls Cecil Travis’s rise, and Bluege’s coaching pivot that cost him a job to Travis.
