We was playin' the Homestead Grays in the city of Pitchburgh. Josh
[Gibson] comes up in the last of the ninth with a man on and us a run
behind. Well, he hit one. The Grays waited around and waited around,
but finally the empire rules it ain't comin' down. So we win. The
next day, we was disputin' the Grays in Philadelphia when here come
a ball outta the sky right in the glove of the Grays' center fielder.
The empire made the only possible call. "You're out, boy!" he says
to Josh. "Yesterday, in Pitchburgh."
