Summary

Zane Grey reminds us how minor league baseball was played 100 years ago- when many of the players were showboats and pranksters- when fans came to be entertained- and when baseball wasn't all business as it is today. In this story manager Delaneys Stars take on the Providence Greys in the championship last game of the season and the action on and off the field never stops. Hold onto your sides.

0:00.0	And the Yeah, Thanks for joining this is one thousand one classic Short Stories and Tales.
0:33.6	Today's story for one of my favorite writers,
0:35.8	Zane Gray, is called The Red-Hitted Outfield.
0:41.3	There was Delaney's Red Hairhaired trio, Red Gilbat, left fielder, ready clamor, right fielder, and
0:48.4	Reddy Ray, center fielder, composing the most remarkable outfield ever developed in minor league baseball.
0:54.6	It was Delaney's pride as it was also his trouble.
0:59.0	Red Gilbat was nutty and his batting average was 371.
1:05.0	Any student of baseball could weigh these two packs against each other

1:49.8	Except once out of every three times at bat he could be counted on to knock the cover off the ball.
1:57.0	Ready Clammer was a grandstand player, the kind all managers hated, and he was hitting 305.
2:06.1	He made circus catches, circus stops, circus throws, circus steals, but particularly circus catches.
2:15.0	That is to say, he made easy plays appear difficult.
2:19.4	He was always strutting, posing, talking, arguing, quarreling when he was not engaged in making a grandstand
2:26.1	play. Reddy Clammer used every possible incident and artifice to bring himself into
2:32.3	the limelight.
