Excerpt from Right Off the Bat: Baseball Ballads

My name is John Bourbon, I'm old, and yet young; I cannot keep track of the victims I've stung.

I've studied their weaknesses, humored their whims, Muddled their eyesight and weakened their limbs, Bloated their faces and dammed up their veins, Rusted their joints and beclouded their brains. Matty a pitcher? Well, yes, he may be.
