↵I was somewhat disappointed to learn that this is an inspired creation of Greg Rutter’s, rather than an accurate historical account. Regardless: don’t tread on me! These colors don’t run! Freedom isn’t free! Watched pot never boils! Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush! Baseball’s the only game in which the defense has the ball! A stitch in time saves nine! U-S-A! U-S-A!
