The essay-like piece recounts famous spitters in baseball and softball, including Nellie Fox, Hank Saver, Willis Patrick, Slats Grobnik, and cultural shifts away from chewing, with humorous anecdotes about their habits and consequences.
The piece reflects on Altoona Pennsylvania and the Horseshoe Curve as a famed 19th century railroad feat, its WWII sabotage scare, and the city’s rise and decline from a massive rail hub to a modern but diminished economy. It ties to a Labor Day visit, Megan’s medical residency, and memories of the Penn Central era.
