September 30, 1941, Menasha Record
You just have to love the emotional notes the editor threw into this editorial about boys' baseball possibly being cancelled. And a big hallelujah to the eleventh hour rescue by the mayor, the city council, and various service clubs and organizations banding together to somehow "go to bat" for the affected youth across the city, to keep them in "...activities that will keep boys on vacation clean and honest in their pursuit of recreation." It is reminiscent of how baseball was described in the movie, Field of Dreams: "It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again." Heartwarming stuff, indeed.
