On Being Correct

“…he once engaged an innkeeper in a bitter argument over the price charged for his room. The difference between what he had been told and what he was being charged was less than a shilling….once he had won the argument, Hitchcock summoned up by huge quantity of expensive champagne for everyone and cast and crew.”   from "The Life of Alfred Hitchcock" Sometimes, for some people, it is not about the amount but the victory of being correct.  

Batter Down!

“We shall miss him of the infield and shall miss him at the bat, but he’s true to his religion- and honor him for that.”     -Edgar Guest poem written after Hank Greenberg’s refusal to play baseball on Yom Kippur, 1954
