The piece from the Baltimore Evening Sun, or, more accurately, the ghost of General Armand de Caulaincourt, instead fairly called the pitch before it ever left the pitcher's hand.

Question thus becomes: Who was doing the pitching for such a godless land as was reputedly the Soviet Union?

Perhaps Caulaincourt maintained a spectral presence, mournful for the fate of his homeland?

Anyway, fare thee well to Yankee Stadium. Whether traversed by actual arcing curves, prestidigital sleight of hand, or just the mutarotational weather of ruth (think about it), ne'er a one shall pass that way again save via the wrecking ball.
