0:00.0	And the Yeah, Welcome back everyone to 1001 classic short stories and tales.
0:34.6	Zane Gray, who is known primarily for his outdoor and Western stories,
0:39.2	played minor league baseball for a few years,
0:41.7	and left us some great stories of which this is one.
0:45.0	One of our recent reviewers suggested we do one and we were listening.
0:49.0	This is our way of saying thanks for your review.
0:52.0	And now breaking into Fast Company by Zeng Gray.
0:57.0	They may say baseball is the same in the minor leagues that it is in the big leagues,
1:02.0	but any old ball player or manager knows better.

1:55.6	traveled many miles to see the Rube pitch.
1:58.8	And the other member of my party was Mrs. Hurtle, the Rube's wife, as saucy and a sparkling eyed as when she had been Nan Brown.
2:06.4	Today she wore a new tailor-made gown, a new bonnet, new gloves. She said she decorated herself in a manner befitting the wife of a
2:14.8	Major League pitcher. Morris East Box was very comfortable and as I was pleased to
2:20.7	note so situated that we had a fine view of the field and stands, and yet were comparatively secluded.
2:28.0	Some of the Chicago players were on the field tossing and batting balls.
