- Well, this is a first. Nobody else has ever connected me with George Sand.
- I have it on good psychic authority that my soul goes back no further than
- Roger Bresnahan (Hall of Fame, 1945), catcher and manager for 17 years in the
- majors, the inventor of the shin guard. Feisty, Irish, and short. I don't
- know about the Louis Napoleonic outfit, but I look nifty in flannels.
