It includes an innovation, the manager coming to the mound in the crisis to summon a relief pitcher. My work also answers the question of why a manager would pitch to the superstar with a base open. There’s also a hint of what the out pitch was.

My only reference for the lyrics is http://www.baseball-almanac.com/poetry/slide_kelly_slide.shtml. Youtube videos only seem to have a musical recording with no lyrics. Either way, I appreciate the response, it was very interesting to listen to.

]]> Comment on Tim Murnane: Heart of the Game by Rick Huhn http://ourgame.mlblogs.com/2013/05/08/tim-murnane-heart-of-the-game/#comment-3862 Wed, 08 May 2013 21:51:00 +0000 http://ourgame.mlblogs.com/?p=4062#comment-3862 John: I certainly enjoy the articles you write and present in this blog. I find them both entertaining and educational. This one may be my favorite. I have always believed Murnane is one of the few figures whose career as a player and writer bridges the gap between pre- and post-1900 baseball. Previously not a lot has been written about him. You’ve helped take care of that with this outstanding piece.

Many thanks.

Rick Huhn
