If, on the other hand, you could plop them down on libefield, with a bottle of Hauenstein in one hand, and a Spaulding mitt (the Willie Mays autographed model) proudly worn on the other, then they might begin to understand the mystery and the glory of the game. But only then. The population of a small college is a strange thing.
